Car-buying is one of the biggest scams faced by service members and veterans. Younger enlistees who often have disposable income are prime targets for car salesman looking to take advantage. When you are in the market for a new vehicle, you often walk onto a car lot and see rows of shiny new cars, just waiting to be test driven.

SGT (Join to see) Good information. USAA also has a car-buying service which deals with dealerships they have somehow vetted or trust enough to work with. Another source is a used car purchased on base from another SM. I got my first car at age 20 through an ad in the Camp Pendleton base newspaper A Capt was selling his '61 VW Bug. He had kept it in perfect condition. It served me very well for the next 6+ years through the rest of my enlistment and all through college.

Capt Tom Brown, Those VW's back then had a lot of staying power. I had a 71 super beetle I drove for years. An engineer at work asked me all the time when I was going to sell it. I sold it to him and I know he had it for a long time. Their heating system was always too hot for me, but it was a good idea. I didn't know USAA sold cars too. I tried using them for my auto insurance, but their rates were too high. I tried getting a life insurance policy from them, but got turned down for my PTSD. I tried getting home insurance from them and found out they don't service Harris County, due to all the claims from Ike.

Yeah, especially if they walk over to you with greasy hair and a sweaty palm. Used car dealers believe there's a sucker born every day, SPC(P) (Join to see).
