It is a great way to take advantage of the large price depreciation in
early years and probably makes the most sense if you trade cars
regularly.

Luck usually isn't involved in saving money.

Hopefully these are not in order of priority. Checking Consumer
Reports would be number four. I would probably look at Edmunds.com.

Who's User Car Rule are you talking about and what does it say. Why

A reasonable idea as a first cut for eliminating obvious dogs. A very

The piece of paper that each car in a dealer's lot is supposed to have
posted in its window is called the "buyer's guide". Usually the only
thing filled out is a check in the "As Is" box.

This link to the FTC explains both the buyer's guide and the used car
rule:
