HOW NEEDED PARTS

TESTED, RENEWED
Mcbride Tells How Prob
lem Solved by His
Department.
BY d. ID. MCBRIDE.

For many years the used car "prob-
lem" has been a source Of consider
able worry and in many instances loss
of profit to the automobile trade.
In the last two years the situation
became especially acute due to lowered
prices of new cars with proportionate
drops in used car values.
In the effort to solve what has
seemed a perplexing problem, dealers
have passed through many different
stages of experimentation. Some ex'
periments have led to their inevitable
conclusion of failure and bankruptcy,
while others have met with temporary
or permanent success.
1t is obviously good business for
Wroten-Hundey Motor Company to
purchase and sell used cars. The pur'
chase of used cars from owners who
seek to buy new cars greatly en-
larges the field for new car sales.
The purchase of used cars in this
manner, however. could not have beer
continued by Wroten-Hundley Motot
Company. in the large volume which
they have established unless these used
cars had been disposed of, in due
course, at a price in each case equa
to the cost of the used car plus tht
cost Of bringing the mechanical con
dition of the same up TO our stand
ards. plus also the expense OF sellin;
the used car and reasonable profit
to insure the permanence of the bust
ness.
Used cars could not be sold in thu
volume we have established unless
those who purchased used cars of III
were satisfied owners who continued
to develop for us customers and goot
will and thereby continue opening new
markets for us.
As an insurance policy on perma
nent good will, therefore. Wroten
Hundley Motor Company maintain a.
part of their used car division, TIL
used car renewal shop.
The function of this shop is to ties
and renew up TO Wroten-Hundley Mo

There is no more important execu-
tive in a motor car dealer organiza-
ton than the manager of the used car
division. The policy of the Wroten-
Hundley Motor company is always,
under every circumstance, to deliver
to every purchaser or customer, a dol
lars worth Of value for every dollar
received from him.
1t would be obviously impossible TO
deliver dollar for dollar value to the
purchaser ia used car il the used
car division should, when taking a
used car in trade on a new one, allow
more for the used car than its honest
market value.
A capable used car division man
ager must, therefore, be an expert
judge of motor car value.
He must also have the tact, IL nee
essary, to effectively direct the sale
of used cars, free from every posi-
bility of misunderstanding and at the
same time keep satisfied the many
prospective buyers of new cars, who
may have the thought that they can
sell or trade their old cars in on new
ones at inflated values.

Mr.. Hanavan, as used car di-
vision manager. has been respon-
sible for appraising the value of

more than 1000 satisfied owners.
What he has to say. therefore,
about what is a bargain in car;
is of Importance as it is backed
by an unusual record in that
department of the industry
which requires more expert judg-
ment for all concerned than per-

S it possible in any line of human

Is it possible that any dealer sell.

methods and carrying out the Wroten-
