About this episode

Nick discusses consumer issues related to automotive sales and travel challenges with expert guests.

In this “For The People” edition, Nick welcomes The Consumerman, Herb Weisbaum from Checkbook.org, back to the podcast to discuss odometer fraud in used car sales, dealing with debt collectors, and the challenges travelers are facing, including higher airfares, rising fees, fewer flight options, and more. Later, Car Guy Tom Appel from Consumer Guide Automotive joins Nick to answer listener questions, review some of the latest vehicles he’s been test-driving, and talk about the shrinking supply of synthetic oils due to the war in Iran. They also say goodbye to the first Lexus, discuss the tiny Fiat Topolino, and cover plenty more automotive topics. Plus, there are new rounds of #StarSpotter and #MysteryShow. [Ep 460]
