That’s why this free class is here to arm you with the knowledge and confidence you need to make a smart, informed purchase.

In this hands-on seminar, we’ll cover the key steps to buying a used car safely, saving you both time and money. From spotting suspicious ads to negotiating like a pro, here’s what you’ll learn:

  • Understanding how the used car market works online
  • Avoiding the dangers of unvetted appointments

  • How to verify a title before you commit

This class is designed for all experience levels, so whether you’re buying your first car or just looking to sharpen your skills, we’ve got you covered.
