Used cars have APPRECIATED in value! This has never happened before and is a result of the upended car market that we’ve experienced over the past few years. And with this volatility comes a set of new challenges to navigate if you’re looking to buy or even sell a car. But fortunately for us we’re joined by our first anonymous guest on the podcast: Car Dealership Guy, who has blown up on Twitter thanks to his insider knowledge and consumer friendly advice on automobiles. CDG has been in the industry for years- starting out selling cars out on the lot to owning his own dealership and he’s now the go-to car market expert to help consumers understand whats going on. He has a podcast and he sends out car market insights to over 45,000 folks via his newsletter. We discuss how the car market got to where it is today, car manufacturers that are struggling the most, buying from a private seller vs online vs dealerships, how a trade-in might actually make sense, and much more today with the Car Dealership Guy.
