Nicole Morgan+FollowArizona car buyer exposes dealership tricksGetting “fired” as a customer for questioning a car dealership’s price changes? That’s what happened to one Arizona buyer, who shared his wild experience online. After receiving a written quote for a new Ranger Lariat, he noticed the dealer quietly bumped up the price before offering a “bigger discount.” When he pushed back on the math, challenged a lowball trade-in offer, and corrected their tax info, the dealership banned him for his “tone.” Many in the community say these tactics—phantom buyers, shifting prices—are all too familiar. Has anyone else run into these games while car shopping? #Cars #Arizona #CarBuying30Share
Nicole Morgan+FollowCar Payments Are Getting RiskyAuto loan delinquencies are spiking, and it’s making it way tougher to get approved for a car loan—especially if your credit isn’t great. Interest rates are still high, and more people (especially younger and subprime borrowers) are falling behind on payments. Even folks with excellent credit are defaulting more than before. Lenders are getting pickier, and loans are stretching longer just to keep payments manageable. Feels like the auto industry is hitting the brakes hard right now. #Cars #AutoLoans #CarBuying154Share

Donald Wilson+Followguys, do you buy new or used cars? why?I used to work in car sales and I was honestly curious what other Millennials do when they buy cars. Historically I always thought most of us go straight for used cars because we are a generation that is pretty frugal. But the whole market has totally flipped in the last few years. Everyone is saying that used cars that are only a few years old are priced almost the same as brand new ones right now. I saw a lot of people saying that with the super low interest rates on new cars, like one point nine percent, it actually made more financial sense to just buy new and get the full warranty. For a lot of people it is basically the same monthly cost now. So are you still sticking with used cars because of principle or has the recent pricing convinced you to go ahead and buy a brand new vehicle? #Millennials #CarBuying #NewCar #UsedCar #PersonalFinance #CarAdvice #Cars 10Share
