Okay, maybe I’m just really slow when it comes to finding out about new products, so bare with me if the Car MD is old news to you. If you have a car that is new than 1996, then it runs on a computer. That computer spits out information to mechanics when something is wrong such as when your check engine light turns on. You know this best as the $50 to $75 dollar “diagnostic charge” that mechanics will hit you up with every time they use their equipment to read the computer inside of your car. Well, the Car MD will read your car’s computer just the same and tell you about the health of your car.

When I first heard about this product on the Dave Ramsey radio show, I thought it was a great deal. For $89.99, you can buy a device that takes the guess work out of what really needs to be done to your car. Plus, you can use it when searching to purchase a used car. I am always so fearful that I will buy a used lemon from someone who is dishonest. As a faithful servant to the way of the money crasher, I always buy used cars. I’ll let someone else take the depreciation hit on new cars. So, this may be something that I look into buying.

I’ve probably sounded like a big infomercial so far, but don’t worry, I’m not getting paid a dime to write this article. I want to know if any of you out there have bought it. Is the product legitimate? Let me know, because if it works well, I think it could help a lot of people save money on car repairs and prevent from buying a car that will give them trouble down the road.
