It finally happened…the Fed lowered interest rates, by a greater-than-expected half a percentage point when they met on Wednesday. This was the first time rates were cut in more than four years, and it’s expected that the Fed may continue cutting the rate at its two remaining meetings before the end of this year. 

We’ve heard from many of you who have been waiting to drive off the lot in a new — or new-to-you — car until rates fell. That’s why this week, we’re re-releasing one of our most popular car-buying episodes, all about buying, selling, and the surprising places where you can and can’t negotiate at the dealer. 

We’re joined by Scotty Reiss, founder and CEO of A Girls Guide to Cars, a website that’s empowering women to be smarter, happier car owners by arming them with car information. Don’t forget to drop me a note at mailbag@hermoney.com if you used one of Scotty’s tips when you negotiated at the dealer!
