Today after work I went car shopping with a friend.Keep in mind I have not bought a car for atleast 8 to 10 yrI currently I drive a Buick and really haven't had a lick of problems.I am sticking with this make.I drove a 2022 encore.I liked it well enough but it had 38,000 miles on it and I want something with less miles.Tomorrow The dealership is bringing over a 2023.Navy in color and 23,000miles on it.Does it make me nervous to spend that amount of money?Why yes it does.I bought my last car with my dear parents.They were there every step of the way.For some reason I feel more comfortable dealing with a woman salesman so A very nice young lady is helping me

Man, woman, they all lie.

Did you get a Carfax on it? Most dealers provide them for free. See if it's listed on the dealer website.

Is it Certified Pre Owned? Better car warranty. A lot of dealers want to sell you a used car warranty for an additional $5k+. I wouldn't buy one. Watch out for document fees.

Do you have your own financing or you shopping the dealer offers?

[Luvsmyfam]

Car is certified as far as financing goes I'm writing check for full amount

[jackthebear]

Nice young lady is still a used car salesperson

do your homework

[Luvsmyfam]

@jackthebear OH trust me I am

@Luvsmyfam  You didn't negotiate the price?   

Like another poster stated, all male, female sales person lie.  Also, they are ALL nice.  Why do you think they want you to pay full price?  Ever heard of a car sales person being mean to a potential customer to make a sale?

[Luvsmyfam]

Have not started the negotiations process yet.Will I accept any price ?Mama didn't raise a fool
I will do the very best I can to get the price down..TRUST ME

I was told that several of the smaller car lots in WV and VA are full of late model, low mileage vehicles that were salvaged from major flooding disasters.

@Luvsmyfam. 38,000 miles is nothing on a car. My Saturn suv has 56,000 miles and that's considered low. If everything still work, I'd keep the old car and forego car payments. That's what I'm doing.
