This book was written for people who are non-mechanical. It assumes the reader has no experience diagnosing, repairing or maintaining a car.
This book will help those non-mechanical people buy and/or maintain a used car, in such a way as to save money!
A step-by-step pre-purchase checklist is included (as is a mechanic’s checklist, which will make it simple to decide if a car is worth buying or not.
If any needed repairs are found, then you have good reason to ask for a reduced price . . . by the amount of the needed repairs.
An internet address is included where the checklist can be downloaded in a printable form, for your convenience. Free!
An entire chapter is included on tire safety, with life saving information.
This book also includes tips on maintaining any car, to increase its life span.
Sections on financing, insurance, and negotiation are also included, and will show you ways to save money!
The author has more than 30 years of experience in the auto repair industry, and gladly shares his knowledge. This is no small thing!
This book is also for sellers. Now they will know that the used car buyers of today are more particular and sophisticated. Now they will know what they will have to repair in order to sell their cars to these modern buyers. Everything! Or reduce their asking prices to compensate for the repairs needed.
It is recommended that you read the book before attempting to use the checklist. The book prepares you to use the checklist, without confusion.
Leave your emotions at home and conduct yourself methodically, and objectively. You’ll be better off and end up with a better car.
Or you can just use this book as a guide to maintaining your own car, and make it last longer.
This book contains 22 color cartoon type images, placed at intervals to illustrate important points, and 9 photographs.
Navigation controls included. 
This book is worth every penny and appears to be the only one of its kind on Amazon. It consists of a guide on why you are checking an item and a checklist to make sure you cover everything.
Within the first few pages he covers three items that are worth the price of the book alone for someone not familiar with cars.
1. Buy a car that is around 3 years old
2. Low mileage is a thousand or less a month.
3. New care dealerships are one of the best options for used cars as they want to get rid of them.
So if you go to a new car dealership looking for a 3 year old car with around 36,000 miles you will most likely get your best deal. This is great to know and the rest of the book is thoughtfully wrote out to this standard. I don’t write as many reviews as I should but I would like to thank the author for his excellent book.
Finally, a very usefull book to help you when purchasing a used car. It also points out things you would not think about to help maintain your automobile for longevity. This book was obviously written by a Mechanic with years of experience who explains things in simple terms you can understand.
I would recommend this book to anybody who needs a little help in buying or maintaining there used car. Included is a simple checklist you can take with you when purchasing your automobile that may even save you lots of money in the negotiations of your purchase price.
A good read for any novis car buyer.
