BEWARE 1T AUTO DEALER WH0
 TRADES HIS HEAD OFF" |S
 ADVICE II AUTO PURCHASER

Swapping old cars for new, the way it is worked by all too many auto nc bile dealers today provides an easy method of misleading and de- ceiVing the intending motor car buyer. Through the medium of trade-ins such dealers dispose of their goods at inflated prices And because he does not understand how the system works, the prospect" shopping along Automobile Row until he gets the biggest possible allow ance for his old car, makes a ready victim.
 The buyer lets himself be fooled into the belief that there is some hid den reason why such automobile dealers are able to allow him more for his car than it really is worth. Thus for the successful operation of the scheme of which he himseH is T victim. he has his own cupidity part ly to blame. He falls for that hoary old trick O. merchandising. marking the goods up in order to mark them down.
 The man who has an automobile to trade in makes the mistake O. thinking that the company which offers the biggest allowance for his used ear gives him the best bargain. Ten chances to one he never stops 10 analyZe the reasons for the offe.' on his old car being so big If he did he would realize the mistake he $ making.
 Allowance Means Big Discounts
 Trading your head off" they call it in the automobile business when a dealer gives too much of an allow ance on an old car. Big discounts are usually at the bottom of such long I,c Cf ola fore, when he gets an unreasonably big offer for his old car, the buyer ought to look with even greater care into the merits of the proposition made to him.
 The advantage he is getting is more apparent than real He just thinks he is getting more for his money. Ac- tually. he is paying more for his new car than it is worth.
 Take a case such as l heard of re- gently. Three dealers, all handling cars in the s1,500 class, made offers on a used car which has a quick sale value of $500 One offered that much, another s450 and the third $500.
 The customer took the $500 offer, believing he was getting the all the best of the trade. But was he? Not for a minute.
 The dealer who offered the longest trade could do so because he was selling his car on 40 per cent dis count, against 9 and 27 per cent for the others. His car should not legiti- mately have been priced above $500. Therefore it represented S200 less in trinsic value to the buyer than either of the other two cars.
 Paid Less Cash
 The customer paid less cash for the new car than would have been re-
Arizona republican., 1917-05-20

{ quired for either of the others. But ! in at least two cases he would have
 got a real $500 car The car he ac- tually bought was $500 automobile masquerading as a $500 machine.
 Yet no salesman for either of the two other concerns could convince the buyer of the facts in the case. All he could see was the $500 for his old car. He thought he had made a smart deal when he sold his second hand machine high.
 But there are even greater discrep- ancies than this in some deals. A man l know of took a car three years old to several dealers in high priced machines, most of them properly high priced. The offers he got ranged from $40O up to s12O0 which surely represents some difference of opinion, if you want to call it that.
 The fair price for the car was S400, and the really good dealers bid only moderately on the old car But of course the man took the $1200 offer and put up $2300 in cash for a S3500
 machine That is, the car listed at S35O0, but the material in it and the big selling discount would have made it dear at $2S00.
 In this case the dealer was content to make $500 only for the sake of get ting one of his cars out on the road. He knew he could realize S400 on the
 old machine and would save S200 out of his commission. He accepted this much instead of the s1400 he would l have made had he got his full 40 per cent.
 The idea is clear, isn't it? It was a car new to the New York market. To 1 get a dealer the factory put the dis ! count high. To take care of this the list price was made high, too. Sub 1 tract from the price to the dealer i s2, ,000-a further discount for the fac l tOry's necessary profit, and you get an idea of how much real value there i is in such an automobile. If you esti- cent gross, ahead of the dealers 40 | per cent, that leaves the car material,
 etc, figuring out about $i200.
 And incidentally, if the new owner were to throw the car on the market 1 for a quick sale today he could get l just about $1200 for it from a regula- l tion second hand dealer. Such dealers ! know the conditions of manufacture and sale of cars. They subtract the likely discounts. and when they get through you are getting just about ! cost for your car from them:
 Buyer Sacrificed Chance i Yet this man who got S1200 for the automobile he turned in, that he knew
 was not worth anywhere near that, is probably congratulating himself on
 having made good turn. All he could see in front of him was s120O for his i old car For that supposed bargain 1 he sacrificed his chances of owning d
 known make of a reputably priced car

 en over 700,000 miles at the wheel, lets loose a series of helps that are educational in value for motorists generally and of such surprising nature. considering the experience they are based on, that he Maxwell company plans to put his deductions into booklet form. and distribute them 1 to automobile owners everywhere. Do not change a thing in the stock cars IS you borrow them from | their owners for your run" McNam- ara points out iH his instruction i sheet See that Nou have a fair
 compression in each cylinder. use a speed of miles an hour, don't
 tamper with anything the factory has put into the regular stock car, and YOU will be certain of about 90 miles from vour one gallon of fuel. With practice or your course and careful l driving you can do anything from l 90 to 4 miles per gallon.
 Do not make your run with high test gasoline. The stock Maxwell mo- 1 tor is engineered to run best on or i dinarv gasoline bought at the street filling stations FTigh-te gives more power but less mileage Do not 1 change the factory dash adjustments
 in the least Contrary to theories,
 too lean a mixture cuts down from two to four miles on the gallon. By all means do not tamper with the regular Maxwell carburetor.
 Leave the float level and the needle 1 faner exactly as the factory engineers | have made them Do not change the waive timing and do not attempt tC chonge the valve setting. If the car | has been run 3.0e0 miles or more you need not grind the valves. Carbon deposit will not affect your mileage 1 either way.

car dealer doesn't want to handle tie ! transaction.
 Most dealers, however, make ap- 1 tpraisals on cars brought to hem and allow the appraised price on the new car wanted. It is in the prices allowed
 that the dealers differ And these | differences, as we have shown, are CX- ] tremely important and significant to | the motor car owner.
 1 The automobile buyer wants Gls- | tinctly to remember that any margins 1 between reasona ble' and unreasonable 1 allowances on used cars do rot disap- 1 pear into thin air. They have to he taken care of in some way. Either the dealer pays for them or the customer does.
 A dealer who consistently loses
 money on trade-ins or cuts prices down to the point where his profits give him a meager return or none at all isn't going to be able to stay in business very long. He simply cannot
 do it. That leaves it up to the GUS toner to figure out really just who pays the bills
 The good general rule is that when you find dealer who offers you for your used car more than a reasonable value, look into the offer carefully. Don't jump at it as if he were making you a present of something. The chances are all against his handing you something-that you really want. Second hand value is a fixed figure, based on the actual worth of the ma chine. determined by those shrewdest brains in the automobile business, the regular used car dealers. The best cars to buy new are those makes which f-111 i1xr ir,t In second hand market. This is tip for i the novice buyer.
 Dealers Anxiety to Sell Allowance price is variable quan- tity, determined usually and only by the anxiety of the dealer to put out | another machine. It is based upon the degree of his willingness to cut l prices by giving up some of the sales l profit on his new car. To the really thinking buyer the allowance price is
 the best indication of the worth, not
 of the car taken in trade, but of the car being bought.
 | Let the buyer shop around. That is | the best way for him to get an idea i of what his used car is worth. But | let him beware of tumbling himself into the pitfall of greed he digs. i I here are only a few as good as the
 man I knew who paid s15O for a used i car. ran it for a while and then got
 an offer of $400 in trade from one of those long gshot fellows. He accepted the $400 offer. specified delivery
 some months off and then drew down
 $200 in cash of his deposit He never went back for the new car, but he did have an idea of selling his remaining s200 deposit for $25 to anyone who
 wanted it.
 In the main, the automobile buyer
 makes a mistake if he thinks he can sell his old car to the automobile merchant better than the dealer can
 sell the new car to him. Most of the
 time it cant be done And if the GUS
 toner feels so very sure of his sales
 manship, let him go right into the
 used car business for himself. Ii

as much to him as did the car he was trying to sell.
 Under such conditions. what chance has the man who is representing fair listed car? Very little as long as auto mobile buyers are swayed by such ar guements Very little as long as a little extra money taken from their own pockets is going to influence the judg- ment of motor car buyers.
 Until such time as automobile pur- chasers realize that there is no sane reason for several sets of offers, hun dreds of dollars apart, as allowances in deals for new cars selling in the same price class, they will be easy picking for the automobile dealer who works on long discount and is will ing to slash into his sales profits for the sake of making a sale. This is price cutting, no matter what guise it appears under. And the man wlo doe; business with a price cutter never is quite sure that he has plumbed the bottom.
 He always has the uncomfortable feeling that if he hung out a little longer he could do better But he can be sure of one thing-when he does business on this basis it is he and not the seller who pays.
 Dealer Goes High
 No one need feel suspicious of the dealer who goes a bit high on trading in cars of the marque he himself han dies. That is not unnatural in the in- terest of his own business. He can always dispose of such cars rather more easily than an outsider.
 But it Is the man who goes the Emit on all and sundry cars that are brought to him who is deservedly to be avoided. Something for nothing isn't being done in the automobile busi ness. And it isn't to be expected any more than in any other line. It has to be admitted, though, that the automobile buyer has a strong stomach for the taking-in of big of fers He is naturally inclined to over estimate the second hand value of his machine. This is chiefly because he does not understand the nature anc scale of depreciation, a subject whict motor car salesmen avoid as far as possible when selling cars.
 From this, no doubt, arises the un- fortunate tendency on the part of the automobile buyer to regard big allow ances as fair and small ones as at tempts to cheat him. If the man who is buying a car would only remember that most dealers take care in trade only because they cant help them selves this attitude might be changed i No dealer likes to sell two cars every i time he sells one. That is what is done in almost every trade-ln deal. Most new car dealers hope and eX- pect to break even on their trades 1 They are not in business usually to dc more than that. If they run this enc of their business at only a small loss they are satisfied, too.
