The Greg Carrasco Show

Greg finally answers the Mustang question: he didn't buy it. He bought his wife a Land Rover Defender instead, in the brightest yellow he could find, and it comes with a lesson on luxury leases. Same $110,000 truck, same term: at a 55% residual the payment is about $2,100 a month, and at 77% it's about $1,000. Jade is in the chair after hours stuck in traffic behind the runners who shut down the c...

Greg has an answer on last week's cherry-red 1968 Mustang: he didn't buy it. Then it was a yellow 2022 Challenger with a black hood stripe, then a detour to the mall for another watch, and each time he heard the same voice: drive home. He opened his safe instead and counted the watches he never wears. Jade is in the chair for all three hours of Thanksgiving weekend. Money Mike takes the mi...

Greg has found the car. A caller's buddy is selling a cherry-red 1968 Mustang coupe, the one Greg has wanted for years, and when the garage door goes up it is screaming "Greg, I'm yours." He brings Technical Tom and Raj Mistry along for perspective, leaves the chequebook at home on purpose, and finds the asking price is about $15,000 over what comparable cars have sold for. He ow...

Greg has been up since 2:50. He's done an hour on the treadmill when he hears screaming from the backyard: the biggest raccoon he has ever seen, reaching into the pool, hissing and charging at him while her baby drowns in the deep end. He fishes it out with the pool pole and then breaks down in the gym at 4:45 in the morning. Jade: "It turns out Greg Carrasco does have a heart." The...

THE GREG CARRASCO SHOW — September 19, 2026 Greg has one question this morning and he gives it all three hours: what was your first car? His was a silver 1983 Dodge Reliant with red velour interior that hit 400 degrees in July and stuck to the back of your legs like a hug from a stranger. He was 21. He has never loved a car more. The argument underneath it is that the first car was never really th...

Greg has a bone to pick. His satirical "Lake America" Nissan commercial got pulled off the air after the phones lit up, and he opens the show on why being offended is a choice. Jade, the deal slayer, is in the chair for all three hours, and Money Mike takes over the second hour. The spine of the show is one rule: if you cannot explain the deal simply, it is probably not a good deal. Deal...

THE GREG CARRASCO SHOW — September 5, 2026 Greg has Jade — the deal slayer — riding shotgun for all three hours, and Slacker Nation brings the questions that dealerships would rather you didn't ask out loud. The heart of this one is service and warranty. A caller gets quoted $270 for his next service on a car he was told was covered, which opens the door to what prepaid maintenance packages ac...

The Payment Is Not the Price — Episode 256 Almost a third of Canadians trading in a car owe more than it's worth. The average one is buried over $7,000 deep. Loan terms have stretched to 84, 90, 96 months — because if you only ever look at the monthly number, they can hide anything they want inside the term. Marketing figured out that people will sacrifice what they want most, a fair price, fo...

What happens when you leave life’s biggest decisions on autopilot? In Episode 255, Greg Carrasco challenges listeners to take back the steering wheel. He cuts through the electric-vehicle hype, explaining who an EV may actually work for—and why Canadian weather, charging access, depreciation, and total ownership costs deserve a closer look. Greg also exposes the “loyalty penalty” hiding in car ins...
