A guy I know was helping his daughter who lived in the big city buy a late-model used SUV. It was her first big purchase, so she asked her dad to come along and help her through the process.

Well, “country dad” had typically dealt with smaller, local dealers where the auto buying process was pretty simple. Turns out he had a lot to learn about risk management and protection products that metro auto dealers had to offer; the deal only starts with settling on the vehicle price. You’ve invested in this nice vehicle, now you need to consider some products to protect it!
