In The Beginning

Remember the simpler times...when you decided to buy a new car, you piled the family into the station wagon, you drove down main street (this is where the car dealerships were) and there, lined up along the curb was a collection of beautiful, shiny, sexy, balloon clad cars!  Ah, life was good.

You drove slowly, spotted the new models you've read about or saw on television.  The family all pointed out the colors they liked; maybe the kids wanted to stop at the dealership with the giant dinosaur on the roof.  You were happy.  Then the anxiety kicked in.  Now you had to go into the dealership and talk to the (gulp) salesman.  What was your trade worth, how much are the new models, what does that cost a month?  Do I need an extra warranty?  Shouldn't the floor mats come with the car?  And the big one...how do I know if I'm getting a good deal? 

Now the Internet has made this so much easier...yeah right!

Sure, you can get all the information you need online but what do you need?  What source do you trust?  Where's the best place to shop, to buy, to finance?

It's OK, put your head between your knees and breathe slowly - the spinning will stop shortly.  We here at Over The Curb have been doing the research, talking with the experts, talking with the buyers, the sellers, and the family.  We will help you navigate this new style of car shopping and bring back those simpler times, and happy faces (not the actual smiley faces, they're so 70's).

We welcome your questions, and conversations.  Most times the best answers come from people that have walked a mile in your shoes.  So start the conversation below, or answer a question, it's all good.
