So... You Wanna Buy a Car: Insider Tips for Saving Money and Your Sanity

My sister Jeanie, fresh out of university was looking for a reasonable deal that would keep her transported safely and affordably for at least a few years. Her know-it-all friends had plenty of advice but when you saw what they were driving and what they put up with (breakdowns and breakups) you'd wonder about their counsel. Anyway I came across Bruce's book following a search for advice. As it happens there isn't much written that doesn't slam certain brands and take nasty cracks at the industry. "So you wanna buy a car" is a real easy book to read... no hi-tech, macho car bunk. I picked it up for Jeanie on a Thursday; she had it all together and even made up her own check list from the model in the book... Friday noon she reviewed some ideas on the phone with me... and she got the car whe was looking for by 8:30 that night. The book worked for her and she swears it saved her nearly $6 thou. There's a lot of real down-to-earth sensible parts; easy to get through chapters, some funny bits, homestyle cartoons. Not really your standard boring-as-hell how-to book.
