KNOWLEDGE, KNOWLEDGE, KNOWLEDGE,
By Dennis Denlinger (Sacramento, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Complete Guide to Hassle Free Car Buying: The Complete, Step-By-Step Guide for Buying a New or Used Car or Truck Without the Hassle (Paperback)
Just as Location, Location, Location is the most important thing in real estate, Knowledge, Knowledge, Knowledge is most important when making a competent purchase. The more expensive the item being purchased, the more important the knowledge. A car is a very big item to purchase. The more you know, the better. Jake has made it possible to know more than ever the next time I, or you, go to buy a new car. I will have this book in my hip pocket and it will be well thumbed...unless, that is, I just let him do all the work for me on his new web site...oops, I maybe should not have let the cat out of the bag. It will be a great boost for us "marks" the next time we sit down across from the "super-shark" salesman. Thanks, Jake.

I am a single parent who desperately needed one car. I spent hours and hours with many dealers and most of the options that were informed to me were forgotton by the time I got home. I was very ashmaed to go back. I went to Barnes and Nobles and I got this book. It help me to recall my memory and more information about varities of areas which I do not know such as extented warrenty, graduate reduction, and about credit cards. I knew that if I did not read this hassle free car buying book, I would waste plenty of money for nothing. I also calculated how much money I can spend each month before brought a car. This book is very helpful and I encourage everyone to read this book before planning to buy a car. It is also a great resource. Especially teenagers who want to be independent and plan to buy a car should read this book before they meet a dealer. This book will help them to make decisions about whether they have to rent, buy, or lease,premium plan, according to their budget. It is also a future reference for many areas eventhough things are changing rapidly. You have the baseline information in your home. Compared to the knowledge you get from this book the Price is nothing.

Poorly organized and uninsightful,
This review is from: The Complete Guide to Hassle Free Car Buying (Paperback)
Ugh. I came onto this book looking for real advice. Unfortunately, I found that this book was painful all the way through (well, at least the half I got through).
The book is actually quite short. More than half of it is appendices, leaving only about 100 pages of meat. Most of the book is just payment tables, which you could easily calculate yourself using a calculator. The book has summaries at the end of each chapter, which are not useful at all. For example, in the first chapter about choosing the right car or truck, part of the summary reads "If you are buying a truck, make sure it has a rear bumper." What? First, the chapter never said anything about bumpers, so that's hardly a summary. Second, in a chapter about choosing vehicles, is this really a salient point? The organization of the book is really hard to follow. For example, in the chapter on new car warranties, there is a section on security systems. Again, what? Reading through the book, I felt like I was reading through a poorly-edited essay that the author tried to write to make sure he had a certain page count.

Wow! This book was very helpful to me. I have 2 strikes against me when buying a car: 1) female 2.) black. It is true that car salesmen think women are push overs. I bought my first new car in 1989. Yes, I was taking advantage of. I feel I paid way to much for the car and the salesman did not work with me to lower the price. I bought another new car in 1992. I took a man with me, but I still feel we did not get the best deal. This book has enlightned me on how to negotiate, what to negotiate, and what not to say. I bought another new car and was able to use what I read from hassle free car buying. Thanks Jake!

Must Have Knowledge for Car Buyers,
By Christene E. (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Complete Guide to Hassle Free Car Buying: The Complete, Step-By-Step Guide for Buying a New or Used Car or Truck Without the Hassle (Paperback)
This book details the steps and provides the reader with the knowledge required to make an educated purchase of a new vehicle. It breaks down the barriers between the dealer and the buyer. No one should step foot into a dealership without reading the information set forth in this book. You will learn how to buy a car below dealer invoice, how to handle the sales tactics used by dealers and the ins and outs of the business. The most important thing you will take from this book is the confidence that you will not fall victim to a savvy dealer because you don't have the right tools to negotiate a fair price. Why? Because this book gives you those tools. I am a young, confident female and I completely feel comfortable walking into a dealership after reading this book. Prior to this, I was hesitant and thought car buying to be a big hassle. Not anymore. Give this book to anyone you know that is purchasing a new car. It will make a perfect college/high school grad. gift.

The Hassle Free Car Buying book is a great book for the women of this world. It gives us the knowledge of haggling with the car dealers when trying to buy a car for yourself and not letting the car dealers take advantage of the females.

EXCELLENT!,

This review is from: The Complete Guide to Hassle Free Car Buying: The Complete, Step-By-Step Guide for Buying a New or Used Car or Truck Without the Hassle (Paperback)
Hassle Free Car Buying is the best I have ever read. Being a female this was so very helpful. I was able to purchase a new vehicle below cost with the help of the Hassle Free Car Buying book. The sales reps were so impressed with me all because of this book. I highly recommend this book to all females of America. Before they talk to any car salesman they must buy a copy of the book. There is a checklist on page 265 that's easy and saves you a lot of time. The auto monthly payment tables were especially helpful too. You can figure out what you want without having to visit a bank or financial institution. It is unbelievable. Go to Amazon.com to purchase. It's so easy. Thank you Hassle Free Car Buying.

Great Information to buy a car with a great price.,

This review is from: The Complete Guide to Hassle Free Car Buying: The Complete, Step-By-Step Guide for Buying a New or Used Car or Truck Without the Hassle (Paperback)
I did not know that you could haggle for not only the price but the down payment and the interest rate. This book is a find for me since I am about to look for a car. Thanks to Mr. Jacobs I can now look forward to saving a lot of money in all areas. I am also happy to find this book at your internet store. I had a very hard time finding it on the shelves. They don't know how much they are loosing by not stocking it. I am reccommending my friends to order this book from you.

How NOT to get ripped off when buying a car!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Guide to Hassle Free Car Buying: The Complete, Step-By-Step Guide for Buying a New or Used Car or Truck Without the Hassle (Paperback)
Succintly, Jacobs' Hassle Free Car Buying book, is *the bible* for consumers who are car shopping and car buying, and who desire *the best car for the best price*. The book is an excellent forewarner BEFORE you meet Joe Car Salesman and listen to his pitch. Read the book...buy a car!
