For First-Time Car Buyers Who Refuse to Get Played

You're not just buying a car, you're making your first big adult move. But no one handed you a playbook on how to do it without getting pressured, confused, or overcharged.

Until now.

This book is your no-fluff, no-jargon, no sleazy sales tricks guide to walking into a dealership with confidence and walking out with the keys without the regret. Whether fresh out of school, starting your first job, or tired of borrowing rides, this guide has your back.

Inside, you'll learn:

How to set a real budget (not the dealership's fantasy version) What to say and what not to say to keep control of the conversation How to recognize shady financing tricks and hidden fees When to push, when to pause, and when to walk away with your dignity (and money) intact The exact steps to prep like a pro, even if you know nothing about cars

Written with humor, heart, and insider knowledge from an industry veteran, this book isn't about impressing anyone; it's about empowering you to make a smart decision that supports your future.

Because first-time buyers shouldn't have to learn the hard way. And after reading this? You won't.
