The world has been waiting for this: a book about buying a car written
by the owners of a car lot! The fact that this coupling of subject and
authors' vocation could easily be a laughing matter may make many
readers hesitate to put their trust in what are, after all, the words of
used-car salespeople. But in this case, that trust would be well
placed. The Leons' consumer guide is no-nonsense and low-key and
provides point-by-point coverage, from the first chapter, "Setting the
Stage for the Car-buying Process," to the last, "Deal Makers and
Breakers." Their attention to detail is admirable, yet the Leons don't
let it inextractably bog down their prose. They put themselves squarely
in the consumer's corner, which, after all, is exactly what a good
salesperson strives to seem to do. So be forewarned and forearmed:
consult Leon and Leon before trading or buying. They will have you
covered like a loud sport coat. Mike Tribby
