This book doesn't really provide any advice you can't find on the internet. The author's tactics also resemble those of car salesmen themselves. For example, he recommends a certain company that sells extended warranties and goes into great detail over its product. I did a quick search of this company on the internet and found it had gone into bankruptcy and did not have the most reputable business practices. Yes, perhaps the author just made an error in judgment. Are you sure, however, that you want to follow someone's advice when it comes to spending this much money? I would think your money better spent just scanning over a few books at a local bookstore or picking a better book online.

This book should be MANDATORY for first time car buyers!!! It opened my eyes to many things. Let's you REALLY know what car dealers don't want you to know. Because of this book I actually decided to go with a car buying service (Car Bargains) to get the best deal on a 2003 model.

We all know that common sense isn't alway so common. We all also know that car dealers have many tricks up their sleeves and for many of us we'd rather have a tooth pulled out than face a car salesperson. This is an easy to read book that lays out the different tricks that car dealers are up to and how you should go about buying a car. It has a long section about leasing which for me was a bit unnecessary since I would never want leasing, even before reading the book, but reading about leasing here is probably a good wake-up-call for many. It is brief enough to get through in a few hours, and easy to read. Much of what is in the book is just common sense, but common sense isn't always common :-)
