Negative Positive
Title: Published in 1995 - useless now
Review: 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.
Is the review positive or negative?
