Car buying used to involve haggling, trudging from dealership to dealership, pushy salesmen and tedious financial negotiations. Now, the Internet revolution and e-commerce competition have changed the rules. According to the authors of Car Buying Online For Dummies, a new book from IDG Books Worldwide, Inc., "The Internet enables you to rapidly and thoroughly explore thousands of options. Comparison shopping for financing, leasing, safety features, accessories-indeed, for any aspect of obtaining a vehicle-becomes far easier if you use the Internet." To lead the way in the car-buying revolution, IDGB has published a simple guide that puts readers in the driver's seat with the click of a mouse.

Car Buying Online For Dummies gives car buyers a fast and easy guide to researching, financing and purchasing a car online. Readers will learn the authors' insights into researching dealer costs, financing options, insurance rates, online reports, licensing and other requirements. The book offers tips on where to find the best deals, how to buy or lease new or used vehicles, how to sell an old car online (instead of trading it in) for maximum value and taking an Internet test drive. The book also offers readers post-purchase advice on maintenance, finding replacement parts and more.

Also included in Car Buying Online For Dummies is an Internet directory with nearly 30 pages of reviewed Web sites, and a CD-ROM with software to help you determine your online car-buying needs.
