James Smith+Follow$98k “New” SUV Had 5,000 Miles?!Imagine dropping nearly $100k on a “brand new” SUV, only to find out it’s already clocked almost 5,000 miles!

Both are now suing, and it’s a wild reminder: always check the odometer and title before buying. Would you trust a dealership after this? #Cars #CarBuying #DealershipDrama00Share
johnny12+FollowCar Shopping Feels Like a Total HeadacheAnyone else feel like buying a car is way more stressful than it should be?

Stephanie Lee+FollowWhy Most People Really Want an EVTurns out, most Americans eyeing an electric car are in it for the gas savings—74% say that’s their top reason! Caring for the planet comes in second, but saving cash is the real MVP. Tech features and tax credits? Nice, but not dealbreakers. Here’s the twist: interest in actually buying an EV is at its lowest in years, with 63% saying they’re unlikely to go electric next time. Myths about battery costs and range anxiety are still spooking people. Would you go electric for the savings, the tech, or the planet? #ElectricVehicles #CarBuying #EVTrends #Cars433Share

EnchantingEcho+FollowStressed About Buying a Used Car? I Was Too!Buying a used car used to stress me out 😅 But I finally cracked the code! Here’s how I make sure I don’t get stuck with a lemon 🙈 • I ALWAYS ask for a fresh car history report—no old paperwork! • I dig into the maintenance records (oil changes, receipts, the works) • I ask straight up about accidents or any issues—no shame! • I never skip a test drive (and I listen for weird noises!) • I insist on a mechanic’s inspection—if they say no, I walk away • I check the interior for smells, stains, and working AC/locks • I ask about warranties, return policies, and what’s included • I research the car’s value and negotiate with confidence It took me a while (and a few mistakes) to get this right, but now I actually enjoy the process ❤️ Don’t let pushy sellers or hidden problems ruin your next ride. Ask the tough questions and trust your gut! #CarBuying #UsedCarTips #SmartShopping #Education20Share
