Before You Sign – Mistakes to Avoid
Jennifer found the deal of the century on a 2010 Mazda CX9. She purchased the vehicle for $2,000 less than the trade-in value.

The mechanic looked at her and informed her that her tires were dry rotted on the inside and there was rust all underneath the vehicle.
What are two mistakes that Jennifer made?
