I hate to go car buying. I hate dealing with car salesmen. It seems to me that all salesmen are dishonest. I don’t know if they mean to be or if I just think they are. I don’t believe a word they tell me. I would like to go just try out a car and buy the one that I want. The salesmen seem to think that I need them to tell me what car to buy. So they stay around and hover over me. I hate this. I hate to go car buying!
I try to arm myself with knowledge before I go car buying. The more I know, the less time I have to spend with a salesmen. I have found this great site that has tons of advice on shopping for a car. It also has advice on selling a car. It tries to help get rid of the guess work of car buying. We all want to get our moneys worth when we make this major investment.
