Choose Your Scenario
Every situation is different. Pick yours to get a tailored battle plan with the exact steps you need.
What's your situation?
Buying New
Buying a brand-new car from a dealership. Learn to push back on markups, forced add-ons, and negotiate the total price.
Buying Used
Buying a car someone else owned before. Verify it wasn't damaged or tampered with, and get a mechanic to inspect it before you commit.
Leasing
Leasing is like a long-term rental: you pay monthly to drive it for 2-3 years, then return it. Understand the hidden numbers that set your payment.
Private Party
Buying directly from another person instead of a dealership. Often better prices, but you handle everything yourself. Protect yourself from scams.
Bad Credit / Neg Equity
If your credit score is low or you owe more on your current car than it's worth, you're a target for bad deals. This guide helps you stay in control.
Not Sure Yet?
Compare buying vs. leasing side-by-side. Find the smartest path for your situation.
Each guide includes educational content followed by an interactive checklist customized for your situation. Keep it open on your phone at the dealer.
