Coronavirus: Buying a Car Part One

Audacy
About this episode

Times are tough for millions during the coronavirus pandemic, but for those with the financial wherewithal, it may be the perfect time to buy a new car.


Low-interest and zero-percent financing deals abound, along with cash-back offers and attractive lease terms. Not to mention that many car manufacturers are pushing deferred payment plans that can delay the first payment on a new car for as many as two or three months.


To help us break it down, we're joined by good friend of the pod, Mike Quincy, Automotive Specialist at Consumer Reports.
