CARS, TRUCKS AND BUCKS with RICK POPELY is the show that helps you save money on buying and owning a vehicle.



Is a 7- or 8-year loan to buy a new vehicle a good idea? Do you really need to buy that expensive extended-warranty the dealer is pushing? How safe is that car you’re considering?



CARS, TRUCKS AND BUCKS, hosted by noted automotive journalist RICK POPELY, answers those questions and more on a show that helps consumers find the right vehicle, save money and avoid the potholes that make car shopping unpleasant. From dealing with dealers to arranging a loan and finding a safe vehicle, Rick Popely provides insightful advice and proven strategies consumers can use to make smart buying decisions.



In addition to providing money-saving advice on buying a vehicle, RICK POPELY helps owners get the most out of their car or truck for the least amount of cost for maintenance and repairs. During the first few years, most vehicles only need periodic oil changes and tire rotations. However, unwary consumers often fall victim to aggressive repair shops that recommend expensive fluid changes and other unnecessary service that can cost hundreds of dollars.



CARS, TRUCKS AND BUCKS keeps listeners informed of the latest developments in fuel efficiency, vehicle safety and helpful tips consumers can use to make better decisions about buying and owning a vehicle.



Listeners are strongly encouraged to ask questions and contribute thoughts about their own experiences with cars and trucks, because everyone benefits from a lively, informative discussion about buying and owning a vehicle, which for most is their second-largest purchase after their home.
