A must buy!!!

I had never bought a car on my own. They were always bought for me by my parents. The time came for me to do it on my own.I read the essential parts of this book. I learned how to negotiate, and how to compare cars, how to focus on the total car price and not the car monthly payment, and saved over $3000 on the price of my car. I bought a 2008 Toyota Corolla that was used (4 months old)with 400 miles for $15000 when it was for sale for $18000 because the book taught me how to negotiate. Prior to purchasing the car I went on Carfax and knew I was getting a great buy. THIS BOOK IS A MUST FOR THOSE WHO NEED HELP BUYING THEIR CAR!!!

A must buy book for new car buyers

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!
