Customer Reviews

Informative, clear and concise... cheap too!

Not being a car-expert and being confronted with the need to purchase a used car, I picked up a copy of Kilmer's book at my local library. I highly recommend this book because it is fluff-free and easy-to-read. It is only about 130 pages, but Kilmer has packed in more information than you would expect. Kilmer (a mechanic) does a good job explaining what to look for and when to avoid a car (as well as his reasons for it), without getting bogged down in technical details. I would recommend reading this book in conjunction with "The Insiders Guide to Buying a New or Used Car" by Burke Leon. The latter has more information about how to haggle with used-car salesmen. However, this should not take any credit away from Kilmer's book that is definitely worth its price.
