Nobody Taught Me How to Own a Car

You don't need to become a car expert. You need one process that works everywhere a car costs you money - buying, financing, insuring, repairing, and filing a claim.

This book gives you that process: the DRIVE Method (Define, Research, Inspect, Verify, Execute), applied to every major car decision from your first test drive to your last trade-in.

Inside, you'll find:

• The exact response to "What monthly payment are you looking for?" - the dealership question that quietly costs buyers thousands
• A 7-minute used-car walkaround you can run in any driveway before paying for a professional inspection
• A copy-paste email template for disputing a low insurance settlement offer, built around requesting the official valuation report
• A repair-or-replace worksheet that turns "should I fix it or trade it in?" into simple monthly-cost math
• Word-for-word scripts for the finance office, so add-ons get evaluated on paper instead of signed under pressure
• A complete Owner's Toolkit at the back of the book: seven one-page checklists, negotiation cards, and worksheets built to be photographed or printed
