Today is your day Boomer! After 64 years on this planet, I have finally figured out the best way to buy a used car. The picture shows our newish Ford SUV bought yesterday in a non-stressful, limited time, easy process. I did my research ahead of time, test-driving vehicles and checking numbers, and found the car my wife and I wanted on-line. We set-up the appointment, did a quick test drive for affirmation, negotiated a reduced price in only five minutes, and did the banking, transfer and insurance papers in about 90 minutes. Both buyers and sellers were "reasonable" and friendly and the deal was done quickly....no heavy-pressure salespeople, no back-and-forth with the sales manager, no trade-in bickering, and no extra costs like the dreaded administrative fee(often around 800$) charged by dealerships. As well, you usually get a lower overall price if you buy privately. The whole thing went swimmingly well and we got the ruby red, high tech, low kilometre SUV we really wanted! Boomers, maybe stay away from dealers and give it a try. Cheers!
