I have many friends who will be getting new cars in the next week or so thanks to Mother Natures’ hail storm madness and insurance. The last time I had to buy a new car – I used a car broker (MileHigh Car Helper). It was the BEST way to shop – especially for us busy moms! I told my broker, Eric, what I wanted, how much I could pay – then he did all the leg work. He even offered to bring the car to me for test drive(s). And I was in and out of the office signing paperwork in less than 20 minutes. Slick, simple and easy. Plus, I got a GREAT deal.
