"We have enjoyed such splendid
sales during our cleanup sales of
used cars that we have decided to
continue offering our used cars at
wholesale prices" Robertson stated.
We find that the public is more
than willing to pay what good used
cars are actually worth and we are
determined to keep our stocks down
by giving them the cars they want
at prices they want to pay.
I'VE are selling good used cars
in late models as we'll as the older
models at prices far lower than
those set in the Los Angeles used
car market. We have visitors from
the coast telling us every day that
they never have seen such low prices
in Los Angeles and San Diego. In
fact, we have sold number of cars
TO coast residents and turned down
any number of offers from whole
sale used car buyers who wanted
to purchase the cars at the prices
painted on the windshieldS.
I'VE are definitely going to- sell
these cars at wholesale prices to
our own valley customers, rather
than wholesale them to Los Angeles
and San Diego dealers who have
a big demand for many of the
models on our lot" Robertson con-
tinued. I'VE could save a lot OF
time and trouble if we did sell
