How to Buy and Maintain a Used Car; For the Non-mechanical Person

How to Buy and Maintain a Used Car; For the Non-mechanical Person Review

Not everyone owns a set of mechanic’s tools. You will need only a flashlight, a bath towel and a box of Kleenex to buy your next used car!

Tools are not necessary! You will learn how to evaluate any car, simply. Even if you have no mechanical experience!

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 cartoon type line drawings, placed at intervals to illustrate important points, and 9 photographs.
