We lost all interest (i.e.-got smarter) in buying new cars & basically now keep our cars till the wheels fall off. I couldn't care less what the neighbors think.

Just want to point out that sometimes insurance companies will scrap a car, but there is nothing really wrong with it. My son had a deer jump on the car hood and damaged one of the head lights. There was nothing wrong with the car mechanically. The insurance company mechanic couldn't get a replacement because the manufacturer stopped making the parts for that car model, so the car was "scrapped" by the insurance company. We got the value of the car payout. Our mechanic was able to find a salvaged head light. He replaced it for about $600. And the insurance company re-insured the car with no problems.

A dealership tried to sell me a lifetime extended warranty, it was free for 6 months, then $100 a month. My response was No Thanks. I have the cash to pay for repairs after the regular warranty ends. 😂

Agreed about working through the Amex portal. I was in the travel business for many many years. Something I've noticed they don't always show all flight availability vs. What is on airline sites. It is almost like they are forcing you into certain options. Thanks for sharing all these tips.

Sorry, Clark I work at a dealership as a finance manager. The most a dealership can mark an interest rate up is two points. so if we offer you at interest rate of 8% we are buying the rate at 6% I do recommend the buyer check with her credit union first and then let the dealership try to match the credit unions rate

I get what you are saying but this is completely idiotic if the dealership robs you with the junk fees, worthless add-ons, hyperinflated prices, and sleezy tactics to charge thousands over what is justified/reasonable. The 8% on 40k is way different from 8% at 70k. Not saying these are your tactics, but we hear of this way too often.

Clark is right -- do your car-buying homework, and there's no better way to do that than the 'Kevin Hunter the Homework Guy' KZbin channel. Not trying to dissuade people from using Clark's website and advice, but Clark is a generalist whose advice covers the entire range of consumer purchases. Does Clark go to a general practitioner for his heart health? No, he goes to a cardiologist. Kevin Hunter is the cardiologist of car buying. If you're unfamiliar, just go to his channel and browse the back catalog of videos and, if you know nothing about how car dealerships actually work be prepared to be shocked -- and disgusted.

Orbitz took me for $$$ on an excursion, a vendor did not show up for, while on vacation in Mexico. Completely no consideration and took the side of the vendor, with no investigation. This was about 10yrs ago and they lost a lifetime customer.

When we had to buy a car for the Mrs we called our Credit Union and pre-arranged finance. The Financing Director at the dealership took a look at the terms from the credit union , came out to meet with us and said: "We're not even going to try to match this!" 😂😂

We did the same in 2008 when we were able to get 3.8% interest w our credit union. We bought our Kia Optima . Already having our finances handled sure made the time we spent in the sales office less stressful 🙂

It's the same process, no matter your credit score. The key to getting the best rates available to you with your credit score is securing the financing ahead of time with a credit union or online bank (whichever offers the best rate). 💚 Here's how to buy a new car: clark.com/cars/how-buy-new-car/ Here's how to buy a used car: clark.com/cars/how-buy-used-car/

I have my used vehicle inspected by the local Honda dealer which was down the street,from the purchasing dealer. They revealed the car was in good condition and only needed to have the brake fluid changed. Cost was $150. It was worth it.

A car you commute in and use for everyday life is never an investment. It’s another machine in your household that breaks down and eventually needs to get replaced. I normally buy certified used vehicles in the past, but in 2020 bought a new 2019 CrV at a dealer just a little more than people were asking for used ones. There’s so many electronics on vehicles now we got the car and dealer warranty through Costco buying program.
