Here's a tip: buy used cars instead. Cars that are 2 to 3 years old and have relatively low mileage will be worth so much cheaper than if they were new and you'd still be able to get much of the car's true value.

[@corsairsofnarshaddaa]

Maybe 15-20 years ago. Have you seen used car prices lately, not to mention the rock-bottom interest rates on new cars? I just traded in a 2018 with 60k miles and 3 years of 5 kids' spills for more than I paid for it. I got into a 2022 for about what I still owed on the old car, with a better interest rate.

You can still get decent cars from great brands for 3, 5, 10 grand (older than 2-3 years though) whereas the new one would cost you 30-60k easy.

I think understanding BOTH is important. Yea the final price is important, but so are the monthly payments. Can you afford to buy the car in 3 years or do you need lower payments at 4 years to leave room for cost of maintenence. Also I think people need to stop this obsession with buying brand new cars, buy used for 15k or less. You'll have much lower payments plus depending on the year some are still covered under warranty.

After 2 years of working in car sales, you can’t help but to feel bad for the industry. I get it, people need money in their pockets. But till I got into the industry, I never met real terrible people in my life. I soon realize that almost everyone is a genuinely bad person in that industry. You wouldn’t believe the type of pressure and sleeziness these people had under their sleeves. After how it affected me mentally and emotionally, even physically, I am glad to say I am out of the industry for good. To all the people who need a car and wants to buy one, here’s my advice: please think. Don’t buy on impulse. Always negotiate price first.

Honda has had electrical and transmission issues and has dropped to the middle of the pack. Toyotas are overpriced, made in the Americas or Mexico and their interior fit and finish is horrible. For example, look at the Toyota 4runner. Big on the outside. Tiny on the inside. Too much plastic, outdated 90ish interior and I'm only 6 feet tall and I feel cramped. There isn't even basic comfort and luxury. Toyota are not only cheapskates. Their living off their past glory. And it's not the brand but the model. Hyundai Tucson is rated high in reliability. So is the Hyundai i20 in Europe. And the best bang for the buck Elantra. You're living in the 90's kid. Things have changed a lot since then.

Take a smart friend along if you need to thy are your excuse for not having time to spend on the sales lot. 2) Know who’s house you’re in and don’t go all the way on the first date. Stay out of the show room that’s their house. The office is the bedroom, and bedrooms are meant for two things. Sleeping and Screwing. 3) Study and review the paperwork. If you’re comfortable with the sale take the paperwork home and look it over with another person. If you’re not legal or financially savvy take it to an attorney and an accountant. It might cost you a hundred bucks but it will save you allot more later.

The problem is that people (especially young people or first time buyers) need to break away from the idea of purchasing a brand new vehicle. Even at 28, I've never owned a new vehicle nor will I. You lose THOUSANDS the minute you drive it off the lot. If you MUST have a brand new vehicle, lease it. You'll spend a lot, but when the lease is up you can then decide if you want to keep it or walk away from it.

[@MickHoney]

I have advice for people. Especially those who are young with more time than money. The honest truth is, if you are somewhat technically inclined, you can save so much money by being knowledgable about cars and repairs. I grew up in Phoenix, AZ. There, I can find a reliable vehicle for $3k every day; Usually less. Just learn what to look for, be a brand snob (Toyota, Honda, etc.), know the basics of car evaluation, research the common issues of a specifc vehicle before you inspect, and don't be afraid to spend the buyer's time on evaluation (If you have the cash, they will wait). I'm not saying everyone is capable of this, but a good majority of people are. If understanding the basics of vehicles is just of no interest to you, think about your interest in having money, and use that to be disciplined and research. If it's possible, live close to work so that you can take a bicycle or electric scooter to work in case you need to do a multi-day part order/repair. Factor that metric into your pay. Second, learn how to inspect a vehicle. At the very least, buy a $10 obd2, bluetooth, diagnostic port error code reader (For vehicles 1996 or newer in the U.S.) and pay $5 for the Torque app. Being disciplined with your time will save you so much money. Already have a basic set of tools (elm reader, sockets, ratchet, extensions, channel locks, wrenches, plyers, funnel, and a cheap multimeter). Amazon and KZbin are great resources that earlier generations didn't have.

They were pushing me toward payments of $280 to $340 a month saying it was less than half my salary. I lived in the barracks and had the chow hall so my housing and food were free. It was easy. They knew how much I made just asking my rank. I wanted something cool too. I was looking at 3 to 6 year old Z28, Corvette, Supra and such. I finally went to a lot where the salesman said "I'm not going to just talk to you about the payment. I'm going to talk to you about insurance cost, upkeep and repair cost. You are going to want a stereo, fancy wheels, maybe a nicer paint job. Your looking at cars that will need repairs during the time you have it financed. I want to make sure you can fix it. I want to make sure when you want something else you come back and see me instead of cursing me."

Well...I only buy vehicles under $7500 and they last more than 5 years. I drive them until the wheels fall off. They can last 10 years even. Always a good deal. I am not afraid they will be scratched and I dont care about the road conditions damaging the car paint.

[@DMRoper1]

Good idea.

[@leonidmart]

You are a smart guy

[@SCD4]

DJ........no.Its about different priorities. I would rather spend it on my home, children's education, going for nice meals or beautiful holidays in the Maldives. Grow up!

[@tomstark9381]

"cAr Is A cAR mAn, pOinT a tO PoInT B" Jk I fw that too fam

[@Jaysaflame]

SCD4 just because you have a different lifestyle than him doesn’t mean your grown up and he’s not. Cars can be hobbies for people. Also everybody doesn’t have kids they need to educate or want to go to the Maldives, some would rather drive something nice 365 days than go on vacation for 7 days.

I don't think I would ever consider buying a car through a loan

[@sunshadow9704]

Why? The loans are very cheap. In average 0.8-1.9%. It’s practically free loan.

[@jeeess9979]

I have a rule: during great economic times I think it's OK to buy a car with a loan but when the economy is uncertain as it is currently it is better to pay cash.

[@jj987987987]

What you mean by without getting ripped off? You are living in a society that emphasizes and relies on consumerism. Every time when you buy something you are getting ripped off, it's just a matter of feeling happy or unhappy about it.

Im salesperson and Mazda enthusiast. way to go Mazda guy!

Love how the "Regulator" does not seem to do his job. It seems like you guys had to do it for him; he and his staff/team should be keeping an eye on things like this on a consistent basis. It must be nice to make that much money and not have to do what your job title includes, just act really surprised when you find out and say "we are absolutely going to look into this; this is ridiculous!!!!"

Welcome to government

welcome to the system

Should be a follow up to what was discovered after looking into her situation. If in fact it was looked in to.

[@Rspsand07]

He certainly does his job like any Government employee. He waits for large companies like car manufacturers to approach him, and offer him a vacation in the Bahamas to lay off them.

[@kirkandkaylaglaser2922]

Exactly. Everything is Troubling to him. That’s about it

13:20 This poor woman. She's at the start of her grown up life, and she's already getting exploited. There's something seriously wrong with this.

[@mrxcer2461]

She is millenial

[@ARrivera36538]

Watching this in 2021 and still the best tip in buying a car!👍🏼

[@arjunsecondary]

Buys a Hyundai, has issues. Buys another Hyundai. Like wtf. Have you ever heard of Toyota or Honda ?

[@Darksyne]

Women have as much knowledge about cars as they do about driving them lol

[@alanmcgarvey6505]

Em Bem well said 😎

[@wes495]

Maybe she thought she bought a Honda. The car does have a big "H" in front.

[@martinsamek5890]

What about warranty?I don’t believe this story at all🤪Toyota r the best car

[@DigitalYojimbo]

Honda quality is that still a thing ?

[@steveasheim4568]

Dont ever borrow money to buy something that depreciates.

[@Aman-rs4uz]

Steve Asheim great advice

[@jobdoneright5934]

Are you weathly?

[@00crashtest]

Yes, just buy a beater car from Craigslist or also (Letgo and Mercari in USA, Kijiji in Canada) for $500.

[@noratackey-otoo1678]

I wish i knew that before I signed 😥😪

[@spiralnapkin]

Much easier said than done, but good advice nonetheless.

[@mdazharuddin2682]

I am a fan of CBC marketplace. I am sure all this info will be very helpful for me when loving to Canada.

[@charlestran110]

I simply informed every customers about the benefits and pitfalls to the best of my knowledge. Unfortunately, most customers are not appreciated, walked away and my boss told me that "you are talking too much." Let life taking care of them.
