I just bought a used car for the first time. Here is what I learned.

When I bought my car, I researched the everloving crap out of the car I wanted, walked in, and the guy was like ‘well, clearly you know more about this car than I do’ and didn’t give me any trouble at all except they wanted to charge me $300 for locking lug nuts and a couple hundred for tint and something else, I can’t remember what. I said that wasn’t what the price was online and I wasn’t willing to pay for it so he knocked around 2/3 of those costs off and I agreed to pay for the window tint (I wasn’t about to pay $300 for a set of locking lug nuts, that’s freaking insane. I can get a set of 4 for $15-20 on Amazon).

My mother’s car dealership tried to charge her like $500 for a first aid kit and breakdown kit (think like a flash light, jumper cables, a hand air pump, that sort of thing). I bought a similar, bigger kit at like Target for $40. Dealerships suck.
