Kilmer walks readers through the entire process, from spotting potential red flags during the initial visual inspection to conducting a comprehensive test drive and negotiating a fair price. His guidance covers a wide range of factors, including engine and transmission performance, the condition of the interior and exterior, and the presence of any hidden issues or past accidents.
Moreover, Kilmer's book goes beyond just the purchase process, delving into the critical aspects of car maintenance.
