Dr. Dray The Auto Consultant

01/31/2026

Hey everyone, tax season is here, and this is when dealerships expect people to come spend their hard-earned money. Before you buy a new or used car, here are a few free pieces of advice that can save you thousands.

• If the deal doesn’t make sense, don’t do it. Period.

• If you’re buying used with high mileage or certain brands, you need an extended warranty. If you can’t afford the warranty, you can’t afford the car.

• Always get a Carfax or AutoCheck. Don’t get stuck paying for someone else’s problems that could’ve been uncovered beforehand.

• On used vehicles, get a pre-sale inspection before you buy. No exceptions.

• Understand your interest rate. With higher rates, most of the interest is paid on the front end of the loan.

If any of this feels overwhelming, or you don’t want the stress of buying a new or used car, message me. I’ll shop for your vehicle, have it inspected, and negotiate the entire deal for you.

Let’s set up a consultation and talk about what you actually need and want.
