How has the Internet changed the car-buying experience, for better or for worse?
I’d appreciate any insights you have to offer as someone who’s looking to buy a car online for the first time.

Furthermore, the Internet is rife with great information that allows people to compare insurance rates, financing rates, and car prices with just a click of a button.
In that regard, the car-buying experience has never before been tilted so greatly to the buyer’s advantage. But that’s only if they put in the time to use the knowledge that the Internet provides.
