5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have, June 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Buy a Car: A Former Car Salesman Tells All (Paperback)

This book was by far the most valuable one I purchased while I was car hunting. I would reccommend it to anyone who has either no experience or overwhelming exeperience with buying cars, and to read it before they buy their next one. A little dated, but a short read with nothing but the facts you need.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource! Saved me hundreds of dollars. I lent it, April 19, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Buy a Car: A Former Car Salesman Tells All (Paperback)

This is an excellent book - very easy to read and understand. I was amazed at the tricks that salesmen pull and found the advice very helpful. I lent this book to a friend buying a new car and he saved $200 off what he thought was going to be his best deal.
