What to do next

1

Open the guide and read the introduction first

The intro tells you exactly how to use the guide depending on where you are in the buying process — whether you're just starting or already at the dealership stage.

2

Print your tools before you go anywhere

The 8 printable tools are at the end of the guide. Print the ones relevant to where you are today — at minimum, print the Test Drive Checklist and the Dealer Script Card.

3

Get an OBD2 scanner — $20 to $35 on Amazon

This single tool changes the power dynamic with mechanics. Order one before your first inspection. The guide tells you exactly which model to buy and how to use it.
