Today we're answering your money questions related to buying a car, a deep-dive on all-things auto.

The fact is many of us are shopping for a new set of wheels these days. Sales of new vehicles are up big time, thanks to extremely low interest rates and rising demand from those who want an alternative to buses, trains and taxis…and more freedom to get around. Given this trend, I thought it would be helpful to dedicate an entire Friday show to providing advice and strategies for securing a great auto deal in today's market. I've recently partnered with Capital One and I'm excited to soon bring on Dave Kang, the CMO of Capital One’s Consumer Auto Finance, for his insights. We discuss:

• When leasing may make more sense than buying a car?
• Should I buy a new car or used?
• How to best negotiate in this economy?
•
