Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 in its 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 the work for you and have compiled their extensive research and 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 as much information as possible and the knowledge to make an educated choice. "Consumer Reports" knows cars and offers the most detailed and revealing used car reliability information available anywhere including: - Reviews of every major model from 1998 - 2005 - Lists of the best and worst used vehicles and how to avoid a lemon - A checklist of what to look for when inspecting a used car - Tips on negotiating the best price Reliability and crash test information - Making sense of safety information 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.

"Now a retired car salesman, Lopez has written "Inside the Minds of Car Dealers," a book which You and the Law absolutely recommends that anyone in the market for a new car reads before stepping onto a dealer''s lot." "We were impressed by his honesty, desire to educate and protect the public, along with a terrific sense of humor, making this not only a practical, money-saving book, but also an entertaining read. "''Just how practical is the book? Beyond interesting, will it save me money?'' you might be thinking. "One of his tips was responsible for a You and the Law staff member saving close to $4,000 on a new car, while another answered the question, ''Do I trade-in or sell privately?''..."

May 2014: Ray Lopez was recently interviewed by ABC''s "20/20" -you can watch it the May 9 segment here. Congrats to Five Star Publications author Ray Lopez - who gave guidance to car shoppers on ABC World News with Diane Sawyer in the broadcast that aired on 11/16/2011. Video: Used Car Tactics: Former Salesman Speaks Out How do you get a car that''s safe, yet something for a great deal? USA Today quotes Ray Lopez, Five Star Publications'' author of Inside the Minds of Car Dealers as saying "buyers of the priciest luxury cars want to have all that''s available. But for more mainstream cars, expensive safety features are a very hard sell." Read the article & Ray''s book to shop smarter for your next car. USA Today Next time I step onto a dealer''s lot, I''m going armed with insider information. Inside the Minds of Car Dealers is a new book written by Ray Lopez, a former car salesman with thirty years of experience in numerous dealerships. Inside the Minds of Car Dealers is, as the title suggests, a 118-page insight into the mind of a car salesman, and contains engagingly-written explanations of what goes on behind the curtain at a car dealer, so to speak. Inside the Minds of Car Dealers offers tips on how to find a good dealer before you even leave the house, explains the head games salesmen play and how they can spot a so-called "auto expert" a mile away-and take him or her for even more money than they will the average consumer. Reading Inside the Minds of Car Dealers, I saw exactly what was going on when I bought my Miata...and my Saab...and my Escort. This book explained what the dealer was doing in each case-and how I was getting taken for every last cent each time! Lopez'' writing style is a bit heavy-handed at times, but the information contained in this volume is vital, valuable stuff that''ll make your next car buying experience a great deal less stressful. It''s $15.95 well spent. Christopher Jackson Elepent Automotive Reviews What makes someone sell you a clunker? "Inside the minds of Car Dealers: How to Buy Your Next Car without Fear" is a guide for readers who seek a psychological edge in dealing with the shifty con artists who go by the more politically correct title of car dealers. Written by a man who has played the devil, he offers much in the way of trying to decipher the thoughts on both sides of the deal and does well in arming his readers in how to get the best deal they can and avoid the toxic ones. "Inside the Minds of Car Dealers" is a must for anyone considering purchasing a new vehicle in the near future. Midwest Book Review Library Bookwatch December 2009 5 out of 5 stars A PROFESSIONAL, INFORMATIVE AND USEFUL GUIDE! In 2003, I walked into a Chevrolet showroom to purchase a new car for my daughter. As I look back now, I remember being there from opening to closing. After signing the contract and going through with the deal, I realized that I wasn''t prepared, and I could have saved a lot of money. Since that sale, I''ve read many books and did some research on how to buy a new car, or used car, and what we should know about trading in your car. In comparison to THE CAR BUYER''S BIBLE, HOW TO BUY A CAR, and BUYING A CAR FOR DUMMIES, I found "INSIDE THE MINDS OF CAR DEALERS" to be the most informative guide on this subject. If you want expert advice on buying a car, then it would be logical to obtain information from someone who spent thirty years as a car salesman, who served an estimated 2,800 customers per year. Ray Lopez worked for many top-notch leading dealerships such as Chrysler, Cadillac, and Nissan. Through the experience of his thirty year career, knowledge, and expertise, the author can educate the public on how to be a wise car buyer. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is contemplating on buying a car, or trading in your used car. The author provides excellent information that is extremely helpful in purchasing a car, or trading one in. This book is easy to read and understand, many tips are provided on how to obtain the best deal, and many crucial factors are included as to what to do, and what not to do. Did you ever go to a showroom, and buy a car that you didn''t want? Were you ever told by a salesman that you can afford to buy their car? Were you ever disrespected, or mistreated by a car salesman? Were you ever lured into a factory discount? Ever gone for a test drive, but told you can''t drive it off the lot due to insurance liability? Ray Lopez can answer these questions and many more, while showing you every trick of the trade that can be used against you, through manipulative schemes. The author reveals the biggest secrets in the car buying industry in this unique, professionally written, informative guide. "INSIDE THE MINDS OF CAR DEALERS" is something you may want to read again-and-again, before walking into that showroom as a potential buyer. You will indeed be prepared, and informed on how to become a composed car buyer. Ray Lopez encourages you to do research, includes resources of what to be aware of, and how to detect signs of being taken advantage of. By Geraldine Ahearn "Author Geri Ahearn" October 5, 2009 (Phoenix, AZ) 5.0 out of 5 stars Very Impressive Amazon Verified Purchase. I bought the book because I wanted to find out the right way to buy a car. I''m going to be ready for a new one in a few months. So I might as well start now on learning all I can about car salesmen. I can''t trust them. My goal was to buy one, read it, then buy another, and so on, as long as they had high recommendations and were reasonably priced. I figured I''d spend about $75 on 5 books. By then I could probably learn everything about how they always end up screwing you. And if it cost me $75 but saved me $1000 or more, it would be a worthwhile investment. I saw this book and I liked the title so I thought, why not? I''ll take a chance. I''m really glad I did. Inside The Minds Of Car Dealers has everything you''ll ever need to know on how to get a really good deal. There was stuff in it that I never even dreamed of that goes at the dealership. And it''s not just with the salesman. It''s with the sales manager, the way the showroom is laid out and even the dealership''s ads for salesmen! Who would''ve ever thought to start researching there first? But it does make sense. This book explains why you never want to go on the lot with an attitude like you know how to deal. I just found out why my friend ended up paying more for his Focus than I did a couple years ago. We bought ours a few days apart. He told them he knew the exact price they paid for the car and he wouldn''t pay anything over that. He ended up paying $1378 more than me. And the reason is in this book. Too bad for him the book wasn''t available back then. There''s so much great information in it and it''s so easy to read too. None of the sales lingo. Just plain English. And it uncovers even more than you''d ever expect. I''m going to read it a few more times before I get my new car. And I recommend to everyone to buy Inside The Minds Of Car Dealers. It will save you money and a lot of time. And like the title says, you can Buy Your Next Car Without Fear. By Radio Guy November 14, 2009 (Los Angeles)
