A must buy book for new car buyers March 12, 2005
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
I never bought a car in my entire life, and I often heard that car buying is really hard. So I'd thought that educating myself before buying a car, is the first step.
I find this book very detailed and straight forward, because it widens your vision all about cars. It teaches you, first about budgeting and financing, it gives you the pros and cons about buying new car or used car and also about leasing a car. It will also educate you about types of car like (sedan,coup,van.etc)
One tip that is missing though is about bringing an amortization table (book) in going to the dealer.
The last chapter is the best chapter, because it gives you the inside knowledge about the technique of the salesman, and how they will approach you.
I can say that its the best book, because I applied all the things in it and I got a great deal with my car!
