Learn how to buy, lease, or sell a car and not get ripped off! Bernie, a long-time car broker, warns students of the pitfalls of purchasing a new car, especially from a dealer. He provides tips on how to negotiate (by email or text, rather than in-person), how to deal with the finance department (beware of specialized warranties), and whether a used car has been in an accident (don’t rely on Car Fax – have it inspected by a local mechanic you trust). He also touches on maintenance issues, such as how long to go between oil changes (for later-model cars, every 5,000 miles is plenty, not the 3,000 miles the dealer recommends).
