I have collected these Consumer Reports Buying Guides for twenty years now. I have older issues going back to the late 1960s. I would never buy a car or truck, new or used, without consulting my CRBGs. They are indispensible.

The Kelly Blue Book would go nicely with this book. Consumer Reports has always been a no nonsense magazine. Coupled with current pricing from the KBB, you should have no problem deciding what you want in transportation.

I rarely take the time to review something. But for anyone out there who might be waffling I would STRONGLY encourage you to purchase this. Consumer Reports has spent YEARS studying and researching cars. Find out what used cars are best. I always spend a significant amount of time studying Consumer Reports before I ever walk out of the door.
You’ll be surprised what you learn. Cars you thought were top-notch may have years where they had serious problems. The insights you learn will save you thousands of dollars and tons of frustration. It will be the BEST 10 bucks you ever spend!
I’m tempted to write down my address because I know you’ll want to send me a gift for recommending this!

I have always used this book when purchasing new and used cars, gives the buyer an edge both for quality and price. It is now in a different format and I believe doesn’t include as much information as when published in book form, rather than this extended magazine format. But, in this day when we must watch every penny, it is a must.
