The Insider's Guide to Buying & Leasing Automobiles

There is no such thing as too much information on the subject of purchasing or leasing a car…but there is a danger of having outdated materials. Laws are continually being added and re-written which attempt to protect consumers against leasing fraud and to make the journey from the showroom to the driveway a little less daunting. This video is at the head of its class in explaining basic terminology as well as offering tips on how to approach the all-important question of ‘buy' or ‘lease'. While many videos tease viewers with offers to reveal ‘secret industry information' or ways to ‘learn the tricks of the trade', this true insider's guide, hosted by John Drew, clearly and concisely informs viewers how to keep up with dealer efforts to entice them with impossibly low interest rates, alluring incentives, attractive special offers, and once-in-a-lifetime finance deals. Together with the accompanying 10-page booklet, this video clears away a lot of the smoke and cleans off most of the mirrors involved with buying or leasing a car. Recommended. (J. Carlson)
