MAYHEM you are ready to trade in
Wv your present car for new car, you
naturally want full value for your pres
ent car. But most of all you want fall
new car value.
1t will therefore pay you to consider
varying trade-in allowance offers in the
light of these basic facts:
4 Your present car has only one fllnda-
Il mental basis Of value: i.e., what the
dealer who accepts it in trade can get for
it in the Used car market.
= Your present car has seemingly
@~S different values because competitive
dealers are bidding to sell you new car.
y The largest allowance offered is not
- necessarily the best deal for you.
Sometimes it is; sometimes it is not.
A An excessive allowance may mean
that you are paying an excessive
price for the new car in comparison with
it's real value.
f. First judge the merits Of the new car
49, in comparison with it's price, includ-
ing all delivery and finance charges.
Then weigh any difference in allowance
offered on your present car.
L. Remember that you are making a
" purchase-not a sale. You are buy
ing new car and simply using your
present car as credit against the new
cars purchase price.
