"Before You Sign Anything" Launches Series That Redefines Auto Consumer Education

OKLAHOMA CITY - s4story -- Oklahoma City, Ok —  With over 35 years of hands-on experience in the automotive industry, author and auto expert Shirley Stephens is pulling back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood and financially critical moments in a young professional's life: buying a car for the first time.

Her new book, Before You Sign Anything: A First-Time Buyer's Guide to Smarter Car Shopping, launches a trans-formative four-part series aimed at empowering a new generation of drivers. Written for young professionals navigating their first major purchase, the guide offers not just steps — but strategy.

Unlike traditional car buying books that promote rigid checklists or generic advice, Before You Sign Anything walks readers through the actual decisions and conversations that shape a successful purchase. With expert-level insights, negotiation tips, and real-world examples, Stephens equips buyers to think critically, budget smartly, and negotiate confidently — long before stepping into a dealership.

"Buying a car isn't just a transaction — it's often a young person's first serious financial commitment," says Stephens. "This book puts power back in the buyer's hands by making sure they're prepared not just with numbers, but with knowledge."

The release is the first in a comprehensive four-part series, each book tackling a key stage of the car buying journey:
  1. Before You Sign Anything – Understanding the process, setting expectations, and asking the right questions.
  2. The Power Seat– Placing the Buyer in car buying conversations.
  3. Mind on My Money – How to leverage your financial position when buying.
  4. Working Title – Brings the conversations together to navigate the car buying process.

Together, these books form a modern roadmap for anyone looking to avoid costly mistakes, predatory deals, and buyer's remorse.
