Clark thinks the car business is cleaner than it used to be, and there are actually decent people selling cars these days. But there are still some dirty players out there, and unsuspecting customers get taken all the time. There is a lot of emotional investment in buying a car, and many people are walking in blind with an inferior position. Clark recently heard a story from a former car salesman that was so unbelievable Clark thought it was a joke. The man said that once a week all of the salesmen and saleswomen get together at a bar for happy hour to vote for the person who ripped off a customer the most. That person was rewarded by having everyone else pay for his or her dinner and drinks. Christa overheard two men discussing the same accomplishment recently while she was out having dinner with her family. There will always be dirty car salesman. So, make sure you do your research before you buy. Check out kbb.com and Edmunds.com for car prices before you buy. Making the purchase of a car a true study before you buy is the key.
