India Shawn – Debut Album

Emerging as a proven creative disruptor, critically acclaimed R&B enchantress India Shawn presents her anxiously awaited full-length debut album, Before We Go Deeper, via Epic Records. Listen to BEFORE WE GO DEEPERHERE.

Flaunting a myriad of moods, her spirt shines on the single “CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE. Clean throwback guitar threads through a head-nodding tambourine-driven beat as she relives the ups and downs of a rocky romance in a call-and-response chorus. At the heart of the track, she flexes her expansive vocal range, stretching from intimate intonation into moments of heavenly high register.

Stay tuned for the premiere of a cinematic music video to accompany the track.

BEFORE WE GO DEEPER evokes every side of INDIA’s inimitable style. “WHEN I CALL” glides on an otherworldly bounce as she urges, “Give me love, when I call, pick it up. Her voice flutters above acoustic guitar on the intimate “SAME FLOOR, while “JUST YOU” serves as sweet conclusion punctuated by a funky riff, swooning strings, and organic percussion. On the finale, she assures, “All I wanted is just you. Meanwhile, the project boasts fan favorites such as “CALI LOVE,” “DON’T PLAY WITH MY HEART, “TOO SWEET” [feat. Unknown Mortal Orchestra], “NOT TOO DEEP” [feat. 6LACK], and “MOVIN ON” [feat. Anderson .Paak].

She teased out the record with “EXCHANGE” earlier this summer. Beyond generating 317K Spotify streams, it attracted widespread praise. SoulBounce exclaimed, “We think it’s safe to say that India Shawn knows how to do sexy, while HotNewHipHop attested, “The Los Angeles-born singer uses her smooth voice over a catchy, sultry beat to show off her singing and songwriting talent.” YouKnowIGotSoul raved, “The stripped down ballad is a perfect display of her beautiful and sensual vocals, and Rated R&B noted, “Each element evenly blends with her sultry murmurs of give-and-take in a romance that faces its shares of bumps and bruises.” Ebony christened her “one of the new wave of R&B singers to keep your eye on.

INDIA picks up the momentum she ignited with 2021’s BEFORE WE GO EP. Beyond tallying over 10 million-plus streams, the project earned widespread critical acclaim. OKAYPLAYER named it one of “14 New Hip-Hop & R&B Albums You Should Be Listening To” and hailed it as “lush, moody, and reflective.” Snobette dubbed it “a sweetly smooth seven-song r&b project,” and HotNewHipHop summed it up as “perfect for R&B lovers.” Among many highlights, NPR applauded the single “DON’T PLAY WITH MY HEART” as “70s nostalgia at its finest, with a stank-face inducing bassline.

ABOUT INDIA SHAWN

India Shawn is unfiltered and fearless. Listening to the rising R&B singer/songwriter’s music feels less like playing a record and more like catching up with an old friend. She bares all—nothing is off-limits. This vulnerable approach has informed all of the music she’s released over the last few years, but she applies it with a special focus on her new album Before We Go (Deeper). Over 14 songs, she reflects on emotional highs and lows, shares buried secrets, and traces the contours of world-shattering heartbreak. She projects these deeply personal musings through a kaleidoscope of old-school R&B and West Coast cool that is as heady as it is undeniable. Launching her career in famed writing collective Full Circle, Shawn initially made waves in the music industry by penning hits for Chris Brown, Diddy-Dirty Money, El DeBarge, and Keri Hilson. In between performing in Kanye West’s Sunday Service and touring with Anderson .Paak and The Free Nationals, the rising artist built a loyal — and rapidly growing — following with independent releases such as Origin and Outer Limits, which showcase her soulful and seductive approach. After garnering over 20 million streams and receiving critical acclaim from NPR, Billboard, HYPEBEAST, Noisey, and UPROXX, Shawn is finally ready to share all of herself and empower an even larger audience with her deeply personal anthems. “I’m a voice for women who know their worth and what they want,” she says. “And won’t settle for anything less.”

Fifteen Tips for Hosting a Great Summer Party

Fire up the BBQ and send out the invites — it’s party time. Warm weather is here at last, which is the perfect excuse to have your friends and family for a fun summer bash. Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a wild party, you want your guests to have a memorable experience. Unfortunately, get-togethers don’t just magically prepare themselves. 

However, pulling off the perfect summer party may be easier than you expect. The most important thing is to have fun with the planning and prep. You set the tone for the entire event — so take a breath, count to ten and follow these easy steps for hosting a great summer party. 

  1. Write Everything Down

Party planning involves a lot of moving parts. Save your sanity by writing every little detail down, such as decoration ideas, guests, necessary supplies and your master to-do list. Keep track of everything you’ve accomplished and what needs to be done. This will be especially helpful if you’re forgetful, easily stressed or getting help with the party. 

  1. Pick the Right Mix 

If you want your party to have the right vibe, you need to consider your guest list carefully. You may be tempted to invite all of your friends and family to one big get-together, but these people may not necessarily have enough in common to feel comfortable with one another. 

Mixing your few more introverted friends, your overbearing aunt and your sorority sisters from college might not be the best idea. Sometimes your social circles blend well, and sometimes they won’t —- the balance is up to you. 

  1. Give Guests Enough Notice

The amount of notice you give your guests will probably depend on the formality of the party. For example, a laid-back BBQ wouldn’t need as much heads up as a birthday party. In general, though, you should give your loved ones plenty of time to make room on their calendars. The summer months book up quickly, so if you want most of your desired guests to make it, send those invites out ASAP. 

  1. Account for the Weather

The weather doesn’t always cooperate the way we want it to, so you should always have an indoor location ready to go in case of rain or extreme heat. Also, if you’re throwing a party at the height of summer temperatures, consider having your friends over in the evening. Once the sun starts to set, the air will feel more bearable. 

  1. Prep Your Home

Before you can begin to set up the decorations and get the food ready, you need to prep your space. Mow the lawn, eliminate weeds and hose down the porch to make the outside of your home ready for guests. You should also tidy and do a basic clean inside your home since guests will likely need to come through to use the bathroom. 

  1. Plan Some Entertainment

Perhaps you plan to just chat for the whole party, but even the most laid-back event needs some form of entertainment.  Try setting out some basic backyard games like horseshoes, cornhole, badminton or bocce. If there’ll be kids at the party, maybe plan some water games like a sprinkler or water balloons.

  1. Add Water and Shade

When planning a summer bash, many people often forget essentials for beating the heat like water and shade. If your outdoor area is large enough, set up a small tent for people to escape under or place a few umbrellas around. You’ll also want to stock your cooler with plenty of water to keep everyone hydrated. 

  1. Balance Decor

Themed parties can be a lot of fun when done right. However, it’s easy to go overboard with decorations and cutesy additions. For most summer get-togethers, the best option is to establish the primary focus like a wine and cheese pairing or backyard BBQ instead of an all-out theme.  

  1. Prepare the Food Ahead of Time

The last thing you want to do is spend the entire time stuck in the kitchen instead of visiting with your friends and family. Do as much cooking as possible before your guests arrive, or plan the gathering around the food. If you want to avoid food prep altogether, you could hire a food truck or caterer.  

  1. Establish the Tone

Spend some time putting together a playlist or find one online to match the mood you want for your party. Provide plenty of comfortable seating and add in soft lighting if you’ll be outside at night. Your choices in lights, decor and music will set the tone for your whole get-together. For meals setting the table before guests arrive will save you time and help to establish a particular ambiance. Paper plates and cups will feel very different from china and wine glasses. 

  1. Keep Pests Away

Many hosts forget about pest control until it’s too late. Don’t wait until your loved ones are getting eaten alive by mosquitos to remember tiki torches or bug spray. Also, your trash cans will probably be quite full of scraps after you finish cleaning up. Tightly secure your garbage to discourage foragers like raccoons, possums, deer and bears. 

  1. Offer a Variety of Drinks

Alcohol and summer parties tend to go hand in hand, so you’ll want to supply a decent variety for your guests based on their preferences. Water is also a great idea to keep everyone hydrated and cool. For anyone who prefers not to have alcohol, have a few other beverages they can enjoy, like juice, seltzer, or soda. You can also offer BRĒZ, a refreshing hemp-infused seltzer that’s perfect for guests who want a fun, relaxing alternative without the alcohol.

  1. Prioritize Health

Nowadays, health is a primary concern for any large gathering. Take extra precautions by providing enough space for everyone to spread out if they wish. You can also designate hand washing stations where your guests can freshen up once in a while. 

Also, in case your guests forget something, set out baskets with some basics. For an outdoor summer party, you might want to include bug spray, sunscreen and sunglasses. 

  1. Put Someone on Picture Duty 

Have you ever reached the end of a great party only to realize no one took any pictures? Ask some of your guests to snap photos and share them with you afterward. Then you’ll have plenty of souvenirs to remember your great time. Send guests pictures they show up in, so they can share in the memories too. 

  1. Leave the Dishes

Just like you don’t want to be stuck cooking the whole time, leave the dishes till later and get out of the kitchen. There’ll be plenty of time for cleaning up after. Spend this time with your loved ones, soaking up every moment. Dishes will keep.

Rap wonderkid ArrDee teams up with UK Funky pioneer Kyla on brand-new single “Hello Mate,” out 14th July.

Already generating a buzz after being teased on his socials, “Hello Mate” centres around the chorus from Kyla’s 2008 single “Do You Mind,” with ArrDee complementing the UK Funky classic with his trademark blend of quickfire bars and infectious hooks.

Shot in the tropical paradise of Ibiza, the sunkissed official video for “Hello Mate” see’s ArrDee adventuring around Ibiza with a love interest by day and party time by night, further accentuating the unruly, feelgood energy communicated on the track. It was directed by Alfie Cauty, also from Brighton and one of ArrDee’s close friends, and features a guest appearance from Kyla, who serenades the party with her scintillating vocals.

It marks his first single release since his acclaimed debut mixtape Pier Pressure. The highest selling debut album for a British solo artist to date in 2022, it already has over 500 million streams and hit #2 in the UK album charts, spending a further four weeks inside the top ten.

PRESIDENTE × A-ROD

PRESIDENTE LAUNCHES NEW INITIATIVE TO FUEL GREATER HISPANIC REPRESENTATION IN SPORTS BUSINESS

Diversity within sports is an ongoing issue both on and off the field. Presidente, the iconic Dominican pilsner, alongside Alex Rodriguez, President and Chairman of Presidente, are today announcing a new initiative called “Step Up To the Plate” that will look to provoke change and create more opportunities for Hispanic students interested in a career in sports.

A summer-long program, this initiative will help fuel a pipeline of qualified candidates into the business side of the industry by offering internship and networking opportunities, as well as financial support.

In partnership with the Hispanic Scholarship Fund, the ‘Step Up to the Plate’ program has awarded nine deserving students a three-month paid internship working on projects across the business that include a strategic sports focus, in collaboration with the Sports Marketing team at Anheuser-Busch – one of the biggest sponsors in sport for almost 40 years.

In addition to the internship, the program awards each student a grant for living expenses in a combined package worth approximately $15K, as well as the opportunity to join Anheuser-Busch in a full-time role following graduation.

“We recognize that the need to diversify leadership in sports is greater than ever, and as a brand that champions the progression of Hispanic culture, we’re more than thrilled to announce this program,” said Alex Monroy, Senior Brand Director of Presidente at Anheuser-Busch. “Step Up to the Plate is meant to bridge the gap between accessibility and opportunity for these students, and ultimately arm them with the tools and experience to “Be the Presidente” of their career in sports.”

In addition to the selected interns, Presidente will give anyone an opportunity to tune into a virtual Q&A session led by none other than former Yankee player, business mogul and Chairman of Presidente, Alex Rodriguez. Taking place on July 11, the virtual seminar will be streamed via Instagram live by Alex Rodriguez (@arod) and Presidente (@presidenteUSA)

“I’m very excited to be working with Presidente on a program that will fuel greater diversity within the industry,” said Alex Rodriguez, President and Chairman of Presidente USA. “Hispanic athletes and fans have played a major part of baseball’s success throughout the years, which is why we think it’s vital that we’re represented not just on the field but in the boardrooms as well.”

Presidente intends for this initiative to be the first push in leveling the playing field for aspiring Hispanic graduates with a passion for sports. As such, the program recipients will begin their internships in Mid-June and will be placed across the Anheuser-Busch marketing team so they can best learn the ins and outs of the business.

For additional details on the ‘Step Up to the Plate’ program and seminar, follow Presidente on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

How to Save Money on Road Trips as Gas Prices Soar

Summer is right around the corner, which means one thing: road trips! But with gas prices skyrocketing, how can you save money on your road trip? Maybe you shopped around for the best deal on your car and secured the best auto loan rates to save money, but now gas prices are spiking and the cost of living continues to rise. If you’re considering a road trip this summer, there are still ways to save to ensure that your trip doesn’t break the bank. 

Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. In this blog post, we will discuss a variety of ways that you can save money while traveling. Whether you’re taking a cross-country road trip or just driving to the beach, these tips will help you keep more money in your pocket. So read on and start planning your perfect summer road trip!

Make sure your car is in good condition before you hit the road – tune-ups, oil changes, and tire rotations can help you save on gas

Anyone who has ever been on a road trip knows that it can be a great way to see the country and spend time with family or friends. However, they can also be quite expensive, especially if your car isn’t in good condition. Tune-ups, oil changes, and tire rotations can help you save on gas, and making sure your car is in good condition before you hit the road will help you avoid costly breakdowns. 

Planning ahead is key – start by mapping out your route and figuring out where you can save on gas

If you’re planning a road trip, there are a few things you can do to save money on gas. First, map out your route and look for ways to minimize driving. If you can take highways instead of back roads, for example, you’ll use less gas. Second, try to avoid rush hour traffic whenever possible. Not only will this help you save gas, but it will also make your trip more enjoyable. Third, plan your stops ahead of time and look for gas stations that offer discounts. Finally, make sure your car is in good shape before you hit the road. This includes checking your tires and making sure your engine is running efficiently. 

You can also drive a car with better fuel efficiency and that will help you save money on gas. If you are also in the market for a new car, there are ways that you can save money when buying a car. Otherwise, you could consider renting a car for your trip. Calculating the cost of gas in a fuel guzzler with the cost of renting a fuel-efficient car or EV would help you to make that decision. 

Find hotels and restaurants that offer discounts for travelers

If you’re planning a road trip, you’ll want to find ways to save money on hotels and restaurants. Luckily, there are plenty of discounts available for travelers. Many hotel chains offer discounts for AAA members, seniors, and military personnel. You can also often find special rates by booking directly through the hotel’s website or calling the hotel to ask about discounts. When it comes to restaurants, look for eateries that offer daily specials or happy hour deals. You can also ask about group discounts if you’re traveling with a large group. With a little advance planning, you can easily find ways to save money on your road trip.

Bring your own food and drinks, rather than buying them on the road

A road trip can be a great way to see the country and spend time with family or friends. However, it can also be a budget buster if you’re not careful. One of the main ways to save money on a road trip is to bring your own food and drinks, rather than buying them on the road. Not only will this save you money, but it will also help you to eat healthier and have more control over your diet. If you’re worried about space, consider packing non-perishable items that can easily be stored in your trunk or back seat. And don’t forget the cooler! By bringing your own food and drinks, you’ll be able to enjoy your road trip without breaking the bank.

If possible, try to avoid traveling during peak times (summer weekends, for example)

A road trip can be a great way to see the country and spend time with family or friends. However, it can also be a significant expense. To save money on a road trip, it is best to avoid traveling during peak times. Summer weekends are typically the busiest times on the roads, which means that hotels and other accommodations will be more expensive. Additionally, gas prices tend to be higher during these times as well. 

If possible, try to plan your road trip for weekdays or during off-peak months. This will help you save money on travel costs and allow you to enjoy a less crowded trip.

PARAVI – GOLDEN CHILD

Singer/songwriter Paravi is excited to officially release her first original song “Golden Child” via RCA Records. The sonically lush pop production explores the raw emotions of unlearning perfectionism. Propelled by Paravi’s melodic vocals, “Golden Child” serves as a reminder that it’s okay to not be perfect, to make mistakes, and to do what makes you happy. Listen HERE.

Speaking on “Golden Child” Paravi says, “This is a song I wrote to give myself permission to fuck up. As a child of immigrants and a young Indian girl entering the music industry, I’m no stranger to the self-placed pressure of perfectionism and the strain of living up to the “model minority” idea, a concept my parents never forced upon me, but something I picked up from my American-ized Indian experience. It wasn’t until I went to college that I took a leap of faith into imperfection by allowing myself to make mistakes. Unlearning the weight of this pressure I had put on myself for so long is exactly what “Golden Child” is at its core. Instead of worrying about what others think, I realized that being authentic and encouraging myself to live life a little further off the edge is what makes me happy.”

Deemed a “…musical force to be reckoned with” by NYLON, Paravi continues to carefully craft a style of her own, alternating between moments of vivid vulnerability and vocal vitality above organically warm production. As a newly signed artist with RCA Records, Paravi is looking forward to sharing more original music this summer/fall. 

Additionally, Paravi was recently featured on the official motion picture soundtrack for Baz Luhrmann’s blockbuster film ELVIS for her rendition of the iconic “Suspicious Minds”. Check it out HERE

TOP CRYPTOCURRENCY APPS FOR BEGINNERS

There are many ways to define the best cryptocurrency apps for beginners, but you should be aware that the final choice is only yours. One of the most excellent apps is those that allow easy trading, simple usage, and safety when trading with currencies. However, for beginners it is not easy to estimate the simplicity of the use and precisely say if the app is good for them. Therefore, you should consider a few important conditions when evaluating the best cryptocurrency apps for beginners.

Which to consider when choosing the best cryptocurrency apps for beginners

If you are a beginner in cryptocurrency, you will surely need to learn a little about the platforms where you can trade with them. Before that you should learn all about blockchain and a crypto. There are places where you can learn to create a profile, place a deposit, and deal with a currency that you have chosen. However, there is a lot of other conditions that you should consider when defining the best place for you.

Customer service

Experienced users could easily trade on different platforms and can choose the best model for them. For beginners, though, it is not easy to decide whether the platform is simple or not. However, being a beginner in any job is difficult because you need support from time to time. A good support system on the cryptocurrency platform is one of the most important features. The best are those with 24/7 model, with FAQ and fast response directly on the chat.

Security

If you are a beginner, you are not sure if the platform is safe enough for first-time traders. There are scams on the internet so that you can face those troubles. The best way is to see the number of offline assets in cold storage, have private insurance or a bounty program, and how ethical hackers can report any weaknesses. 

Location

Although apps work worldwide, it is not easy to trade on apps, not in your country. Some apps do not allow using in another country or have limited access to the countries on other continents. To avoid those problems, choose apps that are allowed in your country and controlled by your government. 

Number of currencies

Although you will not trade with many currencies at the beginning, and you will surely choose the most popular ones, it is good to trade on platforms that offer a wide range of currencies. It shows that the platform is trustworthy and provides security to a long list of users and traders. Many platforms offer more than 4,000 cryptocurrencies, and the number promises success.

Fees

It is not enough to choose a platform that is safe and simple; you will need to trade on a platform that is not expensive, though. Beginners need to choose a platform that is not expensive for the first exchanges. Thus, some platforms have different prices for different paying methods, so you will pay higher amounts for a bank account or check the withdrawal and deposit options.

Ease of use

Regardless if you are a beginner or a skilled and experienced trader in the cryptocurrency field, you will use a friendly-used and simple platform. They will make a platform that a wide range of users can easily use, so trading becomes fast and safe. It is good to read an expanded list of the 10 highest-rated cryptocurrency apps and a shortened version of the list that includes apps with the most straightforward interface. If the platform is too complicated, it could be a red flag because it shows that they do not want to trade with you correctly. 

Best cryptocurrency apps for beginners

Creating a list of the best cryptocurrency apps should include many factors, but most depend on the popularity and ease of usage. However, some apps have already shown that they are the best on the internet, and you can be sure that they will help you in cryptocurrency trading. After you read all the recommendations, you should choose the most applicable model for you and divine into the world of cryptocurrency.

Which apps to choose for beginners

Among the apps that we have listed are those that are highly popular among experienced traders, too. However, each has great advantages that beginners will find the most applying for them. The final verdict is yours, so choose the apps you can easily work on. 

eToro

My Freedom Coin

Bitstamp

Crypto.com

Coinbase

eToro

It is hard to list the best cryptocurrency apps for beginners without naming eToro as one of them. Since numerous government agencies heavily control the platform, you can be sure it is safe enough for beginners. The platform fulfills all demands that average traders can have. It has a very friendly-used model on the site, with over 50 cryptocurrencies on offer and a great supporting system. The market also offers purchases on the click, with very low fees. On this site, you can buy a long list of currencies, starting from the most popular, like Ethereum and Bitcoin, to the new altcoins. You only need a deposit of $10, and the platform will charge you 0.75% for each transaction. You can use a bank account, cards, and online paying methods.

My Freedom Coin

It may be best for beginners to choose a simple platform that unites all important features in one. It is an e-wallet, trading app, and bank, so beginners can easily find whenever they need for easy trade. One of the best features is very simple apps that can be used on any phone and computer. The platform has a special invite-only model of trading, but you can become a member using a QR code that you can find on the platforms and sites. A platform is a great place for beginners for one more reason. Thanks to the special method of protecting the price, it prevents volatile pricing swings and drops in price that could happen unexpectedly. However, the platform has a little higher fee of $50 monthly access.

Bitstamp

Bitstamp could be among the greatest offers for beginners, mostly because of the low fees.

PINK – IRRELEVANT

Critically-acclaimed singer-songwriter and international superstar P!NK has dropped a brand-new track titled, “Irrelevant.” Out today via RCA Records, the protest anthem was written by P!NK and Ian Fitchuk, marking the first collaboration between the artist and the Grammy-Award winning producer and songwriter.

Speaking about the new song, P!NK reveals, “As a woman with an opinion and the fearlessness to voice that opinion, it gets very tiring when the only retort is to tell me how irrelevant I am. I am relevant because I exist, and because I am a human being. No one is irrelevant. And no one can take away my voice.”

With focus on voter’s advocacy, the artist is throwing support behind the organization, When We All Vote, announcing that her proceeds from“Irrelevant” will go to the national, nonpartisan voting initiative created by Michelle Obama. The advocacy group, whose mission is to change the culture around the voting process, seeks to increase participation in each election cycle by helping to close race and age gaps. To date, more than 100 million people have been educated about the voting process, resulting in increased voter registration.

The call to resist continues in “Irrelevant,” as P!NK urges fans to take action and advocate for their rights.

“Irrelevant” is out now. Listen HERE.

How to Save Money When Buying a Car

A car is a significant investment and responsibility. A car can get you to work, store, or school. It can also take you on vacation or to visit family and friends. When you own a car, you can go anywhere and when you want. And, if you have a family, a car can also help you get them where they need to go.

In a nutshell, it can provide transportation, freedom, and flexibility but requires regular maintenance and can be expensive to operate. The cost of owning one may be too high when you factor in insurance policies. 

Hence, if you may want a more affordable insurance option, check Carshield costs for affordable plans. While this may save you some money, learning how to save money on other avenues when buying a car is essential. 

Here are some valuable tips that may be useful:

1. Skip loan and pay in cash 

When you buy a car with cash, you own the car outright and do not have to worry about making loan payments or paying interest. If you finance a car, you must make monthly loan payments and pay interest on the loan. This may potentially add hundreds of dollars to the cost of the car over time.

2. Compare prices from multiple dealers 

 Comparing prices from multiple dealers is a great way to save money because you can find the best deal on the car you want. You can also negotiate with the dealers to get a lower price. 

For example, let’s say you’re looking for a new car and find three dealers with the same model car. Dealer A sells the car for $20,000, Dealer B sells the car for $19,500, and Dealer C sells the car for $18,000. By comparing prices, you can see that Dealer C is offering the best deal on the car. 

3. Use your old car for a trade-in credit 

A trade-in credit is a type of store credit given to a customer in exchange for an item they are returning. The trade-in credit can then be used to purchase other items in the store. 

In this case, you may trade your old car for a new one. You can opt for this option because it has several merits. One merit is that it can help to lower the price of the new car that you are purchasing. Another benefit is that it can save you time and hassle in trying to sell your old car on your own.

4. Research your car ahead of time 

There are a few reasons why you should research the car you want before proceeding to buy. First, you want to ensure you are getting a good deal on the car. The second is that you want to ensure that the car will be a good fit for you and your family. This may also help you familiarize yourself with the controls.

5. Remain patient with your search for a new car 

Waiting patiently will ensure you are getting the best deal possible on the car. In addition, you want to ensure you are getting the right car and not rushing into a decision and regretting it later.

Conclusion

You should not overpay for a car anymore. Always endeavor to save up and buy the car using cash, remember to compare prices from multiple dealers, and if you already have a car but wish to upgrade, use it for trade-in credit.
