Tony Willard has been--amongst many other things in motor publishing motoring correspondent of the Birmingham Evening Mail and Editor of Automotive Management (now called AM)--the best read trade paper for the motor retail trade. There are now stacks of ways to buy cars in the UK. So many that it is really hard for consumers to know where to get best choice, best value, best service, best after-care, best credit or whatever it is that they prioritise. In addition to franchised dealers there are: manufacturers selling direct to the public; rental car companies doing the same; car-buying agents; car supermarkets; used car dealers; internet traders; importers; auctions; and personal shoppers. Most car buying guides concentrate on WHAT to buy whether it be new or used. This book covers that, but assumes the buyer knows roughly what he wants. What has been missing until now is a guide through the jungle of places and prices which tells you WHERE to buy and HOW to pay not a penny more than necessary.
