A New Car Without Breaking Your Budget

For many Americans, a car is a necessity — but it isn’t cheap. Whether new or pre-owned, bought or leased, a new car can carry expenses both obvious and less so. But evaluating your lifestyle, preferences and finances can help you get the car you’re proud to drive without putting a strain on your overall budget. Kasey Radney, a senior client service associate at Palisades Hudson, sits down with host Amy Laburda to cover some auto essentials. How can you tell whether you should buy or lease? Should you get pre-approved for an auto loan? How can you feel confident buying a used car? Kasey covers all these questions and more in our latest episode.
