Car Bargains: Best Used Auto Values

The estimated average cost of owning a standard-sized automobile over your expected driving lifetime is now $320,000! Operating a vehicle will be your second largest expense after housing, year in and year out.

But there is more to this than meets the eye. Consider how the cost of seemingly minor vehicle luxuries may later manifest as lost educational opportunities, inadequate housing, insufficient health care or reduced retirement income.

Car Bargains, based on the popular AIER title What Your Car Really Costs, is useful for anyone in search of a better deal. As Jerry Flint, Forbes automotive columnist, says:

Buying a car is our second biggest purchase next to our house. We need all the help we can get. This book will give you that help.

Whether you are buying your first car or seek a new reliable vehicle, Car Bargains is packed with useful information and tables that can help you get more bang for your buck. Learn how to manage your automobile expenses, decide to buy new or used, compare rebates and interest rates and much more. Syndicated personal finance columnist David Uffington adds:

If you're about to shop for a car or wonder what your current one actually costs you, this book is a great tool in your informational arsenal.
