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!

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.

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.

I cant believe that I actually paid for this book. Anyone with a brain knows that if you buy low and sell high, you will make money. If you know that then you dont need this book. This book is silly. I cant believe that it was even printed.

I found by reading this book that the secret to making money is not necessarily in selling used cars, but rather in making crummy books that get one's $13 dollars to help make yourself rich. This book is horrible! Like other reviewers, this book tells you over and over that if you buy something at a low price and sell it at a higher price, then you will make money. Like Duh! However, it is very short on specifics and content. Some of the explanations are mere elementary concepts. This author could have benefited from a creative writing class, as the grammar, layout, and presentation are terrible. Buy this book if you want to waste $13 dollars, a couple of hours of reading, and don't care to learn anything that you wouldn't have figured out yourself with free info.

I found this book has a lot of information on buying and selling used cars. Somethings you have to work at yourself to find out more. This book also has good information on selling your own car if you don't want to trade it in and gives good reasons to do so.
I cant agree on all he says as far as money spent on cars in your life time, for my part.
This book has shown me enough about the used car business that I don't feel I would want to do this
as it's to much hassle even if you can make good money at it, its just not for me.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the used car business and learning more about it or selling your own car. As in any business one person may do great and another can't make any money at it, he has shown ways to help minimize the risk, But in all businesses there is a risk.
The author also shows why he feels this business is better than some others.

This book basically gives the advice of buy low and sell high. The only 'tricks' it will give you is that, if you hunt down deals, you can sell at a profit. DUH! More than half the pages in this book are talking about how great buying and selling used cars is, rather than giving the reader any sort of information at all. The rest of the book is just examples of how if you buy a car for $10 and sell it for $100 you've made 1000% ROI. The only money machine I see is the hype this book is getting as being a great source of info, which it isn't.

This book was very eye-opening for me. I have always been interested in buying and selling cars, but I approached it just as I did when purchasing a car on the retail level, with a little fear and anxiety. An associate of mine took me to a dealers auction and that erased a lot of the mystery, but I still felt that I was on the outside looking in. That was until I read this book. Mr. Cohill's book is a mini goldmine of information for aspiring used car dealers. This is the straight and to-the-point book I needed, and it arms me with a mountain of confidence. Mr. Cohill I would like to thank you for putting me in the drivers seat, and oh yeah, thanks for that "dirty little secret".

I get it! All in all some really good advice. I have been in the car business for over 30 years. I have done wholesale and retail
both buying and selling. I even did repo's for three years. This
book was on the money for me. There are thousands of guys quietly
making money buying and selling used cars and I am one of them.
I liked it and believe you would find the advice in the book valuble but what do I know I am just a pretty well to do high
school grad!

I really liked this book. I highly recommend it to any entrepreneur; especially anyone considering buying and selling used cars. The book loses some of its wind toward the end but overall I must say that it is a well thought out book.
