If you have a car buying "horror story" - would you share - for an upcoming show. Thanks.

Replying to: autoscoop (Nov 13, 2006 9:57 am) Whew, I second that one from tidester, and as a mother of a soon-to-be-driver, I would want to see the focus on choosing the right vehicle - most teens don't know enough to make an informed decision based on practical driving needs (handling, what cars are good to learn on), long-term implications of the vehicle choice (i.e., do you really want to work long hours to pay the insurance on that mega-SUV?) and maybe durability (really cool car w/high mileage vs plain-jane that's likely to last 5+ years).   So, the shopping/selection process would be my vote.
#15 of 42 Less Roaches by madmanmoo Nov 13, 2006 (10:10 am)
As an Atlanta listener, I have heard this show a lot when I'm on my way into work.   I joke with some of the guys about the people calling into the show. About 90% are roaches and ask questions about their negative equity or inability to purchase a vehicle.   One will state, "I don't like my bank. They keep bothering me about paying the bill." Or, "I have a 350 beacon with 0 money down and I the salesperson is rude to me!! He won't sell me that Benz I want."   All to say, screen those calls a little bit better. Goldfein does a good job of switching those calls into something positive, but there is only so much you can take of that.   -Moo-

#17 of 42 Help with Car Brokers by norma74 Apr 18, 2007 (7:39 pm)
Hi, I'm very interested in the services of a car broker. I'm the ideal client - I'm relocating cross-country and need to buy a car in the new location (SoCal) quickly. I plan to buy a used car and have pre-approved financing. Can anyone suggest a good way to track down a reliable and trustworthy broker? I've already read the edmunds.com article on brokers but I'm still looking for more info. Any insights you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

#22 of 42 FINANCE CHARGES by wendyhuk Jun 29, 2007 (4:43 am)
Replying to: norma74 (Apr 18, 2007 7:39 pm) I have just purchased a new car. Should I expect to pay a bank acquistion fee or bank charges? What other charges at the time of signing should I expect on top of the car price. Regards Wendy
