Buying a used car? CR auto expert Stef Schrader has tips to help you create a strategy that ensures you choose a reliable vehicle and get you the most value for your money with scam-proof negotiation tactics.
Used Car Buying Tips from Consumer Reports Experts
Just buying a car makes me want to throw up. Pressure tactics to upgrade warrantees, paint and fabric protection enhancements, anti-theft etching, and slimy financing makes me want to be as far as possible from any dealership. I even had a brother-in-law, a used car dealer scam me. So, sadly I may never ever buy a car again, or if I do it will be from something like a Tesla that doesn’t upsell or pressure, and allows a purchase to exit in minutes rather than in painful hours. No thanks, thanks for your tips BUT I’m so done negotiating for a new or used car.
