    15 on Fridays with Fletch – The Car Pro shares the secrets of buying a new car, truck, or SUV at the end of 2025.

    Hint: If you wait until January or February to buy, you will pay THOUSANDS MORE, no matter which brand of vehicle you plan to buy, because:

    1. Every MANUFACTURER is trying to reach national sales goals

    2. Every DEALER has set goals and is offering incentives

    3. Individual SALESPEOPLE will negotiate more to reach their own incentives

    4. Every manufacturer is offering REBATES/CASH BACK or LOW INTEREST

    5. SOME MANUFACTURERS are offering BOTH… REBATES/CASH Back + LOW INTEREST

    Jerry Reynolds… the former #1 Ford dealer in Texas at Prestige Ford in Garland, who created his own radio show 24 years ago… is THE TRUSTED VOICE for the car business. He’ll tell you what you need to hear, even if it may offend one of the manufacturers or dealerships.

    In his words, “People call me because they trust I’ll give them good car advice.”

    Jerry’s so legendary that he was inducted into the Texas Radio Hall of Fame this past November.

    Welcome to 15 on Fridays with Fletch. Share this link with your friends and family if they are interested in buying a new vehicle between now and New Year’s Eve!

    · Tour of 200 homes lighted for the Christmas season
