Shopping for a Car or Truck? Use Farmers' Free One-Stop Auto Buying and Loan ServicesLOS ANGELES, April 20 If you're in the market for a car, an easy way to cut down the hassle and speed up the process is to try out Farmers' Auto Buying and Auto Loan Services which offers a comprehensive menu of free, no-obligation auto services. Working with a nationwide network of dealers, the Auto Buying Service experts locate the car you're after for the best deal in your area. For new cars, they provide such important information as factory invoice pricing, manufacturers' suggested retail pricing and available equipment options. (Call 1-800-332-4639 or see http://www.farmersinsurance.com .) "For used cars and trucks, our service has access to thousands of available used cars and trucks and even can provide a Vehicle History Report for a nominal fee," said Chuck Browning, Director of Farmers' Auto Buying and Loan Services. A Vehicle History Report detects potential problems such as rebuilt cars or odometer fraud. "Our experts will even negotiate the price for you, so you don't have to deal with car salespeople," he added. Farmers' customers have saved up to thousands of dollars more than the price they can negotiate on their own. When its time to finance the car, Farmers' Auto Loan Services for new and used cars, trucks, and sport utility vehicles offer purchase, re-financing, and leasing options with competitive rates and flexible terms. The refinancing choice, either for a purchase or to replace an existing loan, is especially attractive because it may lower your monthly payments, freeing up cash each month. "It takes about five minutes on the phone to apply and we promise a quick response on approval, usually within three hours or less," said Browning. If you've decided on a used car or truck, ask about Farmers' Mechanical Breakdown Insurance. The policy, available in three options, reduces the risk of unexpected breakdown costs with coverage of parts and labor to repair or replace major component parts and wear and tear failures of covered parts. MBI is accepted at any facility in the U.S. and Canada and even includes the costs of rental reimbursement and trip interruption -- a welcome comfort on summer road trips.
