All of this is good advice to anybody buying cars anywhere.
I’m a widow….have had to buy several cars on my own. In my married life I just drove whatever car my husband purchased.
I watched a lot of YouTube’s and follow their advice.
Beware of the upcharges and bull**** fees. One dealer even added a $1000 ceramic topcoat to the car, between the time of my commitment to purchase and the closing. I guess he thought I’d feel obligated to pay but I absolutely refused.
Know what you’re willing to pay going in the door. Then stick to your number.
