Thanks to COVID and the strange effect it has had on the car market, from slowing the production of new cars to increasing the prices of used cars, GamerDude found himself in a unique situation: he had a used truck that was worth more than he bought it for. Combined with the facts that he wasn't commuting anymore, and that he didn't really need two vehicles anymore, GamerDude decided to try to take advantage of the upside-down car market before prices reverted to normal. This week, he tells the tale of two dealerships, two vehicles, and how serendipity played a role in his buying a new car. He also explains the importance of researching the price of new cars, the price of your trade-ins, and clearly understanding what you're willing to pay, and what you're not willing to pay. He also explains the importance of being willing to simply walk away if the deal the dealer is offering isn't what you want.
