    Ask the Expert – Larry Dawson: Data Breaches, Car-Buying Privacy, and Why Local Still Matters
    Dec 10 2025
    On this edition of Ask the Expert, Larry Dawson joins Dale Cooper for a candid and far-ranging conversation about the modern car market — and the growing risks everyday consumers face when they hand over their personal information to national chains and online platforms. Larry warns about massive data breaches, shares examples of clients burned by automated systems, and explains why he keeps every transaction one-on-one, on paper, and locked away rather than in a cloud database. The two dig into December dealer incentives, Carvana’s true costs, Facebook Marketplace “jail,” rental-car data leaks, AI-driven customer service, and why older buyers increasingly prefer dealing with a trusted local professional.

Larry discusses Gen Z’s return to in-person shopping, why local dealerships are regaining trust after years of online dominance, and how AI service lines and endless hold times are hurting customer loyalty. The two also dive into electric cars, leasing trends, and why sometimes the simplest advice still holds true: “When you can, buy local, talk to someone, and skip the red tape.
