Roosevelt opens The Color of Our Money Is Green with the conversation every Black family needs to have before their next vehicle purchase.
In Episode 1, Roosevelt covers the federal data documenting why Black borrowers pay significantly higher auto loan interest rates than white borrowers with similar credit profiles, exactly how dealer financing markup works and what it costs Black families, and the three core principles that transform the car-buying experience for any Black buyer who applies them.
What You Learn in This Episode:
• How dealer reserve and interest rate markup actually work
• Why the monthly payment conversation costs Black buyers thousands • How to pull your credit report before any dealership sees it
• Why a pre-approval letter represents your most powerful finance office tool
• How to separate vehicle price, financing, and add-on product negotiations
AutoNetwork helps serious car shoppers inspect any new vehicle online before walking into a dealership. I’m Roosevelt — I’ve been reviewing cars and shaping digital car buying and credit union auto leasing since before YouTube car reviews existed.
You’ll find detailed walkaround reviews, POV test drives, and buyer-focused breakdowns covering comfort, space, features, and real-world value.
