Book Description

Used Car Book June 1999

The Used Car Book is the best way to ensure you get a good deal on a used car and avoid the nightmares of hidden repairs and added costs. Jack Gillis' information and advice helps transform one of your biggest purchases into one of your best decisions.

Long known as the most consumer-oriented car buyer's guide, the completely updated The Used Car Book 1999-2000 has maintained the classic simplicity that for 11 years has led hundreds of thousands of car buyers to the best choices among the over 40 million used vehicles sold each year. While other car guides offer only manufacturers' specifications, The Used Car Book 1999-2000 sifts through the claims, the facts, the specifications and, with unique performance measurements, evaluates 1990-1999 cars and minivans. Jack Gillis once again proves why he is America's most sought after consumer expert on cars.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best 'Used Car' book I've found... ~c:), January 31, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Used Car Book, 1999-2000: The Definitive Guide to Buying a Safe, Reliable, and Economical Used Car (Paperback)
I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It not only does a thorough overview of many different makes and models of cars and reviews things like 'overall buy', 'crash testing', etc. But it also gives a 10 point check on how to check out a used car to see if it worth taking to a AAA Diagnostic before getting the diagnostic.

If you want to save hundreds / thousands of dollars on future repairs, this is the book to get!
