Product Spotlight: Insider Trading Book


By G.R. Whale


Auto-industry lifer Ted Lindsay and journalist Larry Bush have written "Insider Trading" to cover both sides of the automotive retailing process, with insider tips and guidelines to help buyers and sellers have fun buying a car, often an elusive concept.

Lindsay notes the "automotive sales industry has always had a reputation based on deception. The focus has been on the tricks of the trade while little focus is on the trade itself." This flip-style book offers advice to the buyer on one side and to the salesman on the other--the principles are said to apply to new and used car purchases.
