I have seen all the nonsense you could imagine and then some.\n\nI got sick of it.\n\nKnowing that truthfulness could be a competitive advantage, I left the company and went on to start a dealership on my own, branding myself as “Your No-Nonsense Car Dealer. ®\n\nRather than hiding behind large disclaimers, foolish tent sales and worthless warranties, I educated customers, cared for their needs and developed a loyal following.\n\nThe transparency we promoted made my business wildly successful. People came to buy from us then their kids and even grandkids.\n\nI sold the dealership just before the COVID shutdown and decided to step back and take on other tasks, one of which was to write this book to help people like you.\n\nMy book will help you be an educated customer so you can get the stress-free, no-nonsense deal you and you deserve.\n\nThis is only some of what I lift the curtain on:\n\nThe manipulative sales system many dealers employ to snooker you.

What to do to get the best interest rate (it’s not what you think) How a lease can be very bad for you or the best thing you can do. The scam of “$0 down” and how it can ACTUALLY mean thousands of dollars out of pocket. The “all credit applications accepted” scam. The “land mines” to look for in a disclaimer Rebates how they work and how “all rebates applied” is often used to offer a price they know they can’t honor The sneaky thing it means when a dealer says in an ad “and you own it\nHighly educational, readable and entertaining, you are sure to save hundreds, maybe thousands on your next car purchase. You will save a good slice of your sanity too !\n\nMy \"Dealer to English\" dictionary seems to be a particular hit with readers !\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0F8WS5HT9\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0F8WS5HT9.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Genova, Dom|Miller, Stephen\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
