Tell us what you'd like to hear. We want your suggestions. Any particular controversy or topic - that you think the country should discuss?? We want to know.

Replying to: autoscoop (Nov 11, 2006 7:00 pm) How about a tutorial for sons and daughters who are about to make their first car purchase but won't listen to mom and pop about researching and negotiating? Also, address how parents can best get these points across to the kids before they get fleeced.

Replying to: tidester (Nov 11, 2006 10:02 pm) Great suggestion. Do you think it should be more focused on financing options, budgets, or how to find the right vehicle? Replies to this message: kirstie_h (Nov 13, 2006 10:02 am) tidester (Nov 13, 2006 10:22 am)

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!
