They range from the practical (make sure you test drive the car) to the silly (make sure you like the car) to the urban legend (make sure you buy the car on the right day of the month). It isn't breaking news that there is a lot of noise out there cluttering up the decision making process when it comes to the consumer's car buying journey.  At some point it becomes too much information and gets in the way.

So how do you give solid advice when it comes to helping consumers cut through all that information?  I teamed up with Joe Webb of DealerKnows Consulting and James Raia The Weekly Driver to discuss what we think are some helpful hints to make the car buying process easier.

How do you advise friends, colleagues and potential customers?
