Absolute must buy when buying a vehicle!!!
This book is an absolute necessity when buying a car. It has saved us several thousand dollars three times we have purchased vehicles. It has become increasingly hard to find so we purchased on ebay since none of the major bookstores carried it locally. All I can say is the book is timeless and I would never try to buy a car without first reviewing the information. Love,love,love, love this book.
