Quote from Jon Friedland

"The back office of a car dealership is about the worst place you could choose to make an important financial decision, yet that’s where 80% of us finance the second biggest purchase most of us will ever make. I’m on a mission to help people understand their car loan options, and make good choices - outside of the dealership. I believe this can significantly improve the financial condition millions of American families." - Jon Friedland
