5 Things a New Window Sticker will tell you

New car window stickers offer more information than a description and price of the vehicle.

They provide us some very useful information, as well as the standard option descriptions that are added to that particular
vehicle.










1. QR Code
If you have the smart phone technology.. a QR Code is printed next to the vehicles description. Scan that QR code into your phone and you now have all the information about that vehicle, right on your phone. Easier to keep the information stored on the phone rather than trying to remember if it had the Rain-Sensor wipers or not. 

2. Fuel Economy and Environmental Impact
Not just the MPG averages for city/hwy. It gives savings in fuel costs over a 5 year comparison to the average new vehicle. Average annual fuel cost, Greenhouse Gas Rating and Smog Rating as well.. Good information for overall expense of that vehicle.






3. Safety Ratings No need to go searching around government websites for the scores. The star ratings are listed on the window sticker. How many stars does your vehicle have?












4. Parts Content Information
What does that mean? Where was this vehicle built?
This section tells you where it was assembled. Where the engine and transmission were built and the percentages. Just so you know.







5. 4G LTE - WiFi Equipped 
These days, staying connected is important. Breaking down out in the middle of nowhere is not any ones idea of a good time. Not being able to contact a tow truck is even worse. Playing games, map reading, phone calls, social media, and more.That is WiFi connected.


So next time you are strolling the Dealership lot.. take a better look at that window sticker and see, what else is there to learn.. and don't forget, scan that QR Code.
