Diary Entry:

I might try to do the auto broker route for my next car purchase. Geico, my auto insurance company, has an auto purchasing program, so I don't have to worry about interviewing, and finding an auto broker now. I still have to compare auto brokerage fees, but at least I can remember how to get my own mechanic inspection, check for safety recalls, order a CarFax, VIN-verified title search, to make sure I don't get a lemon/previously flooded car.
