This comprehensive guide explains scores of ways to save money when buying a car, foreign or domestic. Author Sal Fariello taps into his vast knowledge of the performance levels of all major brands of cars and the service departments who maintain them. This book won't keep your car out of the shop, but it will save you from being robbed while it's there. Illustrations throughout.
This book really explains things well. It goes through the whole car, system / part by system / part, explains what can go wrong, what repairs are useful, which aren't, common mistakes and ripoffs, etc. I'm learning a great deal about how cars work as I read. Really superb. Looks like current edition is 1993 and I don't see a newer one, but the info still seems very solid and useful. I'm currently reading a copy out of my local library and will probably buy one. This book should be reissued and aggressively marketed, in my opinion.
