1.0 out of 5 stars Worthless, March 14, 2004

This review is from: The Used Car Money Machine (Paperback)

It's funny that I see two reviews that say the book is lousy, and several others that sound like a commercial. So, what's the truth? The truth is this book is little more than a pamphlet hyping the used car biz. It offers very little in terms of specifics. Those reviews praising the book as some sort of godsend were put there by the author. This book is filled with vague and very obvious information. I have found all the information in this book and more on the internet for free. DO NOT BUY!

3.0 out of 5 stars TOW TRUCK DRIVER GETTING IT DONE, July 6, 2004

By 

RODGER ENGLISH (mississippi) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Used Car Money Machine (Paperback)

I have been in the towing business for 13 years and one of the

few perks would be the chance to buy and sell used cars.

I try to buy at least one or two a month to pick up an extra

$1500 or so. For me The Used car Money Machine was really

helpful. At least it made me aware if I can find two bargins

than why not 3 or four. Bargins are out there every day and you

do not need to be an insider to make money. Don'y listen to the

haters out there the book is well worth $13.00! A lot of money

is made with used cars but it does take some work. Just buying

a diet book wont make you skinny you gotta be into it.

1.0 out of 5 stars *WARNING* Buyer Beware *WARNING*, January 24, 2004

This review is from: The Used Car Money Machine (Paperback)

The reader from Chicago is correct, this book is no good. The reviews from Dallas and Washington D.C. are spam, ignor them. This book contains no insight to the used car business. It is painfully lacking in information. In fact, many chapters that claim to explain how to obtain licensing or info on legalities and such, simply tell you that you should find out how, and not tell you how to get started, or where to look. This book is a joke. Its filled with the most basic typographical errors and sub-par graphics. Its almost funny. Oh well, you were warned.
