Buying, leasing, or trading a vehicle can be one of the most expensive decisions people make and most consumers walk into it at a disadvantage. The Automotive Edge, hosted by Kurt Chase, is built to level that playing field.
With more than 38 years of experience in the automotive industry, Kurt brings an insider perspective on how dealerships operate, how deals are structured, and where consumers often lose money without realizing it.
At the core of the show is Kurt’s “4 D’s” approach to car buying:
* Don’t give out your Social Security number upfront
* Don’t reveal your trade-in expectations upfront
* Don’t negotiate based on monthly payment alone
* And if you ignore those rules and get a bad deal, don’t call him on Monday!
Each episode covers real-world guidance on buying, leasing, financing, trade-ins, and how to navigate service and maintenance decisions, along with insights into current market conditions and vehicle trends. The goal is simple: make the car buying and ownership process more transparent, less stressful, and more advantageous for the consumer.
