This is the United States Edition.

No doubt about it, buying a car or truck can be a bad experience. But why is it so hard to buy a car? Because most people have not yet learned to use all the resources available. They are also unaware of how the car business works.

So what's the answer? A different approach that uses information found online along with an insider's view of the car business, which is revealed in this book. If you change the process you use to shop and make a buying decision you will know what awaits you when you go in to test drive and buy a car. Your expectations will be based on the knowledge you've gained. When you go into a dealership potential stress turns into excitement the way the car buying process can be.
