GETTING AWAY SMOOTHLY
Best Way to Overcome Difficulties

BY WILLIAM TLLMAN.

Following loss of more than
billion dollars, shared by car owners
and dealers alike. motordom has come
to realization that with the excep-
tion of the influence of price reduc-
tions. the used car problem has been
largely a matter of poor business
methods in the merchandising of new
cars and old, in making trades, or in
otherwise disposing of used cars.
A number of progressive dealers are
already cutting losses on used cars,
and without losing business or asking
their customers to accept abnormal
losses when trading in for new cars.
These plans should have the support
of the motorist, because as in all
processes that help the dealer to sue
cess the car owner also profits.
One plan of cooperation among
some dealers. for example. is making
1t possible for owners to realize bet
ter prices for cars traded in than
when dealers are cutting each others $
throats in the wrong kind of COM
petition, or when they are forced to
such exigencies by motorists who
wrongly judge the value of the new
car by the allowance on the old.
How New Plan Operates.
Under TINS man the dealers arrange
TO exchange cars taken in trade, so
that after the machines are "cleared'
the used car line each dealer carries
will represent the make of car In
which he speeializes. The used car
offerings of each dealer, therefore,
are put out with guarantee which
the public more readily accepts, thus
tending to stabilize prices.
The CUSTOMARY plan Of shopping
around for good trade is poor
dealer equally to blame.
a motorist should not necessarily
take the allowance quoted by the first
dealer he consults as representing the
market value of the car. 1t may be
too high or TOO low. A few quota
tions are necessary as means of
striking an average, but not with a
view TO favoring the dealer who
makes the most liberal allowance.
This average will be more nearly
representative of the market value of
the car and should enable the motor
list to place his order with a better
conception of values.
Dealers See Past Folly.
There is a natural temptatio for
the dealer TO make a more liberal al
lowance il in this way he is able to
place another one of his cars in Serv
Ice, but he is rapidly learning that
cutting his commissions Cfor this is
virtually what he does when he offers
more than the old car is worth in or
der to sell a new one) is risky busi-
ness and process that leads sooner
or later to bankruptcy.
When the progressive dealer names
his limit and bases his figure on the
estimate of a competent appraiser the
car owner should be satisfied that the
figure quoted represents the market
value and that anything which any
dealer offers beyond that figure will
serve no good purpose.
The plan of fixing prices on used

cars through the dealers associations
did not work out successfully in most
parts of the country for the reason
that 1t was not good business. The
motorist felt that dealers were trying
to make him accept their terms for
could get better prices for his old car
in the open market, and this further
encouraged him in the belief that
dealers were trying to dodge the is
sue.
Salesman Must Help Buyer.
Theoretically there is no reason
why dealers should be asked to take
old cars as part payment for new
ones, but the business is so constitut-
ed that motorist is not usually IN a
position to buy unless he first ar
ranges to get rid of his old car. Thus.
indirectly. the dealer is charged with
the job of helping to dispose OF the
old car, and it is at once evident that
fixing prices and attempting to regu-
late the market is not good business
and cannot be relied upon to solve
the problem.
Those who have come to study the
situation carefully have reached the
mines the value of used cars and that
the solution to the so-called used
car problem is in strengthening the
market. 1t is now recognized that
the process of diSpoSing of old cars
by cutting commissions and profits on
new cars results in bankruptcy for
dealers. thus weakening the market
through the offering OF used cars on
a wholesale basis.
Must Stabilize Market.
In other words. il is now seen that
the first step in solving the used-car
problem is in stabilizing the market,
which means abandoning not only il
logical -
ing of uSed-car prices as well. Prices
are governed by the market in all
lines. and the automobile market is
no exception to the rule. The point.
then, is to support. stabilize and
strengthen the market.
This the progressive dealers are try
ing to do. And the car owner has a
part to play in lending his co-opera-
ton.
The method of exchanging cars
is one plan. The appraisal is an
other. Under the latter the dealer
employs competent appraiser to de-
termine the value of all cars offered
to him. Should the value given by
appraisal exceed the average market
value (and the dealer be unwilling to
offer proportionally better terms and
assume the element of risk) the own
er is encouraged to sell the car di-
the market for car better than the
average. or allow the dealer to offer
the car on a commission basis through
the used-car department.
How Owners Can Help.
1t should be at once evident that if
, the car owner accepts either of these
plans he is doing something toward
solving the used-car problem. If he
sells direct and to his advantage the
news goes out that he obtained bet
ter price for his car-evidence that
conditions are improving. If he sells
it through the dealers used-car de-
partment the commission enables the
dealer to advertise the car. display
and demonstrate II. All of which en-

TRIP.
The weather had not been favora-

but while waiting for the sun to come
out Smith was planning to make his
| first trip. The delay gave him time
to think of what he might have to
! know about his car in order to enjoy
a successful trip. 1t was because he
had never been more than twenty
| miles from his own garage that he
| did not think it necessary to make
! much preparation. for the compara-
lively short trip he was contemplate
| ing, but, as usual, wanted to do the
right thing.
I promptly assured him that many
| things can happen on a trip of less
than 200 miles, many things which
| the driver, provided he had in his
| tool kit everything that he might
need
/ I'm well supplied with tools. if
| that's what you mean" Smith boasted.
! They are necessary" 1 agreed,
! but have You some wire with you,
/ for instance?"
| "Wire?" Smith laughed at this. He
wound up by y, showing me .cassaor a steel
l y
dealer had sold him.
| Yes. I've got a wire" he went on.
| What else do 1 need-a hair pin?"
That's going a bit far" l replied.
| though 1 have heard where hair pins
| have been useful in cleaning out
stoppage in the gas line. I would
| even suggest adding a nail file TO the
! kit. However, among other things
you had better take along a can of
| cement and patches to repair inner
l ft,h of lIIhS n NJ
| a can Of cup grease and a collapsibie

Smith saw the sense in some of
! these. but thought I was fooling

Knick-knacl<s Are Useful.

when assistance would not be so con-

AT this point 1 thought of the
| spool of fine wire which I always
carry in the car. I cut off piece

the end of the air choker lever on

GRASP Lever Firmly.

The gear shift lever of a car is
capable of an annoying kick-back if
the gears are carelessly shifted. A
careless shift means one in which
the gears trip over each other before
their teeth actually mesh, during
which process the gear shift lever
will vibrate enough to give the re-
laxed fingers of the driver bad kick
and perhaps injure one of them.
Whether your shifting is good or bad.
it's safer to grasp the lever firmly.

Worth Remembering.

Never attempt to pass another car on
the highway until you have first made
certain that the car behind you isn't
trying TO pass you at the same time.
Many driver has turned over to the
left side of the road preparatory to
passing a car ahead, only to be side
swiped by the car behind, which gave
no warning of it's intention.

1t is simply a case of applying busi-

line which has been crudely handled
because it came upon motordom over

ness in earnest appreciate This and

help to eliminate the cost of inetti-
