Used Car Buying Guide 2006

These days, there are many advantages to buying a used car over a new car. Unfortunately, purchasing a used car may pose a greater risk to the consumer. A used car by nature will most likely need more repairs, lack newer safety measures, and may come with a short warranty or none at all. That is why it is so important for consumers to do extensive research so they can avoid all of the pitfalls of the used car market category. The auto experts at Consumer Reports have done that research, compiled the information, and now report their findings into the 2006 edition of Used Car Buying Guide. This fabulous tool will help steer any consumer who is in the market for a used car towards the better-performing and more reliable used car models and away from those models with a troubled past or substandard performance. Before consumers set foot on a used car lot, they should read all the valuable information provided in this book so they can be armed with the information and the knowledge to make an educated choice. The majority of this book is devoted to the profiles of 256 cars and trucks, presenting all major 1998-2005 models. Each profile contains a photo from the representative year, a write-up of the vehicle, reliability history, crash-test data, and the model years when key safety gear was added and when a major redesign was made.Consumer Reports Staff is the author of 'Used Car Buying Guide 2006 ' with ISBN 9780975538869 and ISBN 0975538861.
