larsontiffany+FollowBought a “new” car? Check the odometer!Imagine dropping cash on a 'new' ride, only to find out the mileage was totally faked!

Colleen Jones+Follow7 Things Never to Tell a Car DealerCar shopping? There are 7 things you should NEVER say to a dealer if you want a good deal. Don’t mention you’re paying cash, need a car today, or have a trade-in outside—they’ll use it against you. Never ask for just the monthly payment, gush about how much you love the car, reveal you’ve been to other dealerships, or admit bad credit. Dealers are pros at reading you, so keep your cards close and negotiate smart! Ever slipped up and regretted it? Spill your story! #CarBuyingTips #DealershipHacks #MoneyMoves #CarShopping #Negotiation #Cars8931Share
trhodes+FollowChatGPT’s Surprising Take on Used Cars 2025Thinking about buying a car next year? I asked ChatGPT if going used in 2025 is the move, and its answer was way more nuanced than I expected. Basically: used cars save you cash upfront, avoid that brutal new-car depreciation, and have cheaper insurance. BUT—watch out for higher maintenance and possible price hikes since tariffs are making new cars pricier (which could boost used car demand). Bottom line: If you want to save money and can handle repairs, used is still the smarter play! #CarBuyingTips #UsedCars #ChatGPT #2025Trends #MoneyMoves #Cars30Share
Joshua Andersen+FollowBought a Used Honda—Total Nightmare UncoveredImagine dropping thousands on a used Honda, thinking you scored a deal, only to find out at the mechanic that it’s basically a rolling rust bucket.

Moral of the story: always get a pre-purchase inspection, or you might end up with a car that should’ve gone straight to the scrapyard.
