Summary: Published in 1995 - useless now
Comment: I flipped through this book when I was in local bookstore recently. TRASH. Don't waste your money. I've never been very fond of Jim Mateja's review style (he writes a nationally syndicated newspaper column on cars), but you'd think he'd at least have the decency to update his used car guide so that it would actually be useful in 2002. The book was written 7 years ago, and you're not going to find any recent, relevant info on the current used car market here. Jim spends a lot of time talking about late-'80s automobiles, which may have made good used cars in 1995, but are little more than old junkers now. Do YOU think that an '87 Oldsmobile would make a great choice for a used car? Right, but Jim sure does. You'll find everything you need for buying a used car on the 'net now anyway. Avoid this book and keep your cash in your pocket.

Summary: Almost nothing new with fourth edition
Comment: The fourth edition is basically the third edition with a six page addition listing his 13 best choices including a paragraph or two of commentary on each choice and a few "you might also want to check these" suggestions. The book does have some useful general suggestions if this is your first time for buying a used car. If you are looking for specific models to buy, go to your local library and copy the last six pages.

Summary: Very interesting and informative
Comment: I purchased this book before i went out to buy a car and I'm really glad i did. This book covers all cars, old and new. It also talks about cars that are prone to problems or recalls. It talks about what all cars should cost if they're in poor, average, good or great condition. I used this book as a guide and thanks to what I read, I purchased a good car at a great deal.
