Buying a Car (as an informed consumer)
It is one of the most expensive purchases you decide to make – Buying a car today can feel stressful, confusing — and very different from the days of simple “tire-kicking.” Between new technology, financing options, EV vs. gas, and paperwork you may not fully understand, it’s easy to feel unsure about what’s really in your best interest. Join automotive expert Farah Mohammed for a practical, consumer-focused session that walks you through the car-buying journey in Ontario — step by step. Farah has spent over 15 years working with car-buyers, dealers, regulators, and educators, and she’ll share the real-world tips most buyers wish they knew before signing anything.
This online talk will take place over Zoom and is part of the Canadian Automotive Museum's Third Thursday lecture series. These online talks are free and open to the public, but registration is required. The Canadian Automotive Museum is a registered Canadian charity and a suggested donation of $10 goes toward covering the cost of hosting these virtual events.
