    Listen and Learn From Ray and Zach, OR. . .Dry BOHICA Time!
    A fan for many months. This DISRUPTION of transportation has many layers — legendary shenanigans, games of 3-card Monte, and worse. These guys will assuredly improve the experience of car-buying, and make a Happy-Place for the new ride — as it should be. Keep doing what you’re doing, especially Channeling G. Costanza.

  • onabender
    The kid is annoying.
    These two are not at all connected to real world workings of automobile dealership ops. They cry wolf and the sky is falling in EVERY EPISODE AND CAPITALIZE EVERY TITLE. Listen to a few episodes. You’ll get it. They’re just shills for their website.

    Funny hats
    A bunch of tiny hat communists advocating for total communist and micro regulation of car sales.. typical y*ds sticking trying to stick their big noses into everyones business and them themselves into free cars.

    Personal responsibility
    Ray, do you take responsibility for your own actions? I agree that there needs to be serious reform when it comes to the predatory practices of dealerships and the financial services companies which originate leases and loans. These companies pray on those who can least afford to be taken advantage of and are most at risk of default. Dealerships and the F&I companies are cancerous to our society. They offer no benefit to the consumer and deceive the less educated. Fortunately you all are a great source of information and provide real world tactics. With that said, we all need to take personal responsibility for our actions. If you cannot afford the new iPhone, or the larger apartment, or the fancier car, then don’t take on the debt. We blame all these ā€œevilā€ companies for the unmanageable debt level the average American has assumed today. However, no one put a gun to my head and forced me to assume more debt than I can safely manage in my current financial situation. This is like the housing crisis of 2008. Everyone blamed the banks, the realtors, the appraisers, etc. And yet it was the borrowers who agreed to such a outlandish mortgages. Many were thrilled thinking they were getting the deal of a lifetime. This country as a whole needs to get back to the ethos of being personally responsible. And I must say that you we’re part of the problem for many, many years. You are a person who spent his career in an industry taking advantage of those less fortunate and those less educated. And yet, now you are blaming everyone except those who sign their name on the dotted line of the lease or loan. Your son could no longer justify the expense of owning a car. So now he uses public transportation and other means. Good for him. More people should follow his example. If we stopped over extending ourselves with these insane lease and loans, there would be far fewer cars sold. That in turn would force the manufacturers to reduce prices. Unfortunately, my son totaled my car last November. I refuse to pay the outlandish and exorbitant market adjustments charged by the dealers. I have made do so far and plan to do the same for the next 12 or 18 months until hopefully prices become sane again. It’s not fun but it’s the responsible thing to do. You may not believe this given the tone of this note but I have greatly enjoyed and learned a lot from the show. However these last few episodes have been disappointing because they seem to want to blame everybody else for high personal debt except for those who agreed to take it on. I do hope the show will revert to it’s earlier type of content because I think that most of us truly need the education that you are providing. Best regards

    A great find!
    I found these guys, Zach and Ray, a couple months ago. I wasn't looking for the podcast, it randomly came up, looked interesting, I clicked and now I'm hooked. Great info, good personalities, earnestness and humor. If you're ever going to buy a car from a dealership, you want to check these guys out.

    It’s a fun podcast even if you aren’t buying a car

  • OG Big Baby J
    This podcast is straight šŸ”„!
    If you are looking for advice on how to go about buying a new car or have any interest in auto sales and how the dealership system works Auto Insider is a must! Even as someone who is not actively shopping for a car this podcast is extremely informative. It has given me a much better idea what the sales person is thinking and what to expect for the next time I go to buy.
  • LoganColborne
    Informative and Entertaining
    Ray and Zach are extremely helpful! Huge fan as someone who has had to buy a car. The information Ray is able to give with his 40+ years of experience is appreciated!
  • Zach Shefska
    I may be a bit biased ...
    Your Auto Insider, Ray Shefska, is my dad, so I admit it, I may be a bit biased in my review, but I think this is a fantastic podcast. Ray provides great insight from his 43 year career in the retail automotive industry and helps guide listeners through the journey to making their next vehicle purchase. The co-host is a little rough, but listening to Ray is worth it.
