March 21st–22nd, 2023— 2pm EST

Buying a used car shouldn’t be complicated, but so many drivers find themselves fearful that they’re going to end up with a lemon or get scammed into spending more money than they expected. That’s why it’s important to arm yourself with the right information and knowledge of the purchasing process. Whether you’re a first-time car buyer or have a car on its last leg, this course will help you determine a budget, identify reputable places for purchase, practice the art of negotiating and outline the basics of financing, test-driving and mechanical inspection.
