Tax Season = Car Scam Season

The Auto Authorities Podcast

The tax refund has hit your bank account and visions of a shiny new ride dance in your head, but beware! Unscrupulous dealers and scammers lurk in the shadows, waiting to take advantage of your heightened urge to splurge. As you step onto the car lot with cash in hand, you must guard your finances and future vigilantly. Arm yourself with knowledge of common tricks and tactics, from fraudulent lending practices to odometer rollbacks, that separate eager shoppers from their hard-earned returns. Prepare to recognise bait-and-switch pricing, spot unneeded extras and services, and sniff out lemons dressed up as cream puffs. Budget wisely, assess vehicle history reports, and trust your instincts to avoid handing your signature and cash over to a charlatan. Let the fair dealers earn your business as you sign on the dotted line with confidence, not falling victim to sharks circling hungrily this tax season. Drive off the lot safely in the vehicle of your dreams, not one of their schemes!
