Stephanie Crawford+FollowWhen NOT to Buy a Used Car 🚗Car shopping? Timing is everything! Skip buying a used car during tax season, late spring, summer holidays, or when your current ride dies—prices are way higher. But if you want a deal, wait for December, January, Black Friday, or the end of the month when dealers are desperate to hit quotas. Basically, patience = more cash in your pocket. Who knew car shopping was all about playing the waiting game? #Cars #BuyingCar #CarShopping10Share

Linda Price+FollowWhy Your New Car Might Be DelayedSo, a ship loaded with 3,000 brand-new cars—including a bunch of hybrids and EVs—just sank in the North Pacific after a fire couldn’t be put out.

MysticJungle+FollowFamily Car Shopping: When Everyone's an Expert! 🚗😤Why does buying a family car feel like hosting a chaotic town hall meeting? 😅 Last weekend, I dragged my partner, our hyperactive three-year-old, our golden retriever, and my know-it-all mother-in-law to three different dealerships. I thought I had done my homework—narrowed it down to a Honda Pilot or Toyota Highlander. But the moment we stepped onto the lot, everyone became a car expert! My partner obsessed over cup holders, my toddler insisted we needed "the red one," and my mother-in-law started lecturing the salesman about resale values. Meanwhile, our dog decided to mark his territory on a brand-new sedan! 🐕💦 Two hours later, we left empty-handed with everyone still arguing about leather seats versus fabric. I'm starting to think I should just close my eyes and point at a random car! Have you ever felt like a referee in your own family decisions? Please tell me I'm not alone in this madness! 🤷♀️ #FamilyLife #ParentingStruggles #CarShopping #FamilyRelationships00Share
HyperHalo+FollowWhen a Test Drive Turns Awkward: Would You Try Another Dealer?Took my wife to our local Hyundai/Genesis dealer, excited to try the G70 and Veloster N. Instead, the salesman kept pushing us toward a G80, ignoring my car history and preferences. Things got even stranger when he pressured me to honk at another driver during the test drive, then questioned my road rage! After I said I wasn’t buying today, he got noticeably upset, making the whole experience uncomfortable. Now I’m debating: should I drive 100 miles to another dealer or just ask for a different salesperson here? Has anyone else dealt with pushy sales tactics like this?
