 Indispensible Guide For All Car Buyers July 6, 2001
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is, hands down, the best defense against the evil forces out there known as CAR SALESMEN! I found that after reading it I bought my Pathfinder with confidence, skill and the absolute certainty that I had saved myself time and money. Mr. Royce's book is User Friendly and personable. A great gift for anyone contemplating a new car.
 You can do better November 3, 1999
I feel like I wasted my time and money on this book. The only thing it has going for it is its catchy title. Unfortunately, with advice from the author like "Whatever you do, don't buy a car today" and "A good trick is to detour through the drive-thru of a fast-food join and buy the saleman a soda." I feel this book teaches you very little about how to Beat the Car Salesman unless you were born yesterday.
A "must-read" book for every car buyer! June 29, 1999

I can't imagine buying my new car without reading this book first. The author reveals, in a very friendly down-to-earth manner, exactly what the car salesman is up to and what the buyer should do and say to beat the salesman at his own game. I followed the book's five steps and I saved not just lots of money but, just as importantly, lots and lots of time.
Excellent...every car buyer should read Mr. Royce's book. October 6, 1998

As someone in the online car buying industry, I appreciate when an author attempts to make the process fair to both the consumer and the dealer. Mr. Royce obviously understands his topic and has a true sense of "fair play".
 A small investment that probably does yield some big savings September 26, 1998
If you're buying a car, buy this book; it's a valuable resource. Of course, my conversations with the salesmen I encountered went nothing like those predicted in the book, but when used in combination with Internet research, it was very insightful. I know it helped me save money on the price of the car (of course, knowing the daughter of the dealer didn't hurt either) and, even more importantly, on closing the deal and all those extras.
