he said, but would be worth only
$500 on the trade-in. Fancy mathe-
matics - but the net result was an
over-ceiling charge of $4OO to the
baff1ed customer.
Another evasive practice used
most frequently with new cars, is
the "tie-in" - that is, requiring the
purchaser to buy extra equipment
and gadgets. Sometimes the extra
item represents perfectly bare

charged only ceiling price for q

Charging fees" for putting your

tie-in racket.
Some particularly unscrupulous
dealers may insist that, although
you wish to pay cash. you purchase
the car through a financing COM
pany. This is also strictly illegal 49,
and may. if the finance company is a
shady one. finally cost you as much
as rs per cent above the proper car

said earlier that violations of
car ceilings should be reported at
once to your nearest OPA office.
Often dealers falsely warn that
OPA will prosecute the customer or
make him give up the car. That is
absolutely not true. On the contrary
OPA will make every possible effort
to get back the amount of the over
charge. In the past year OPA has
secured nearly $500. 900 in re-
funds for victimized buyers.
In many cities local bar associa-
tons have set up special committees
to give legal assistance to purchas-
ers, especially veterans, who have
been overcharged. They bring civil
treble-damage suits against the
black-market dealer and the full
amount awarded by the court goes
to the dealers victim.

nal cases referred to it by OPA.
These new hard-hitting tactics
mean an uneasy time for crooked
dealers.
For instance, in Philadelphia re-
Gently. an apparently innocent young
couple walked into a used-car lot.
The dealer - one who had a long
record of over-ceiling showed
them shiny 1912 Packard sedan
Ceiling price. $1.275). The young
wife" examined the upholstery,
her husband looked over the motor.
Apparently satisfied, they asked
how much. The dealer said $500
adding. "How could I sell nice car
like that at ceiling price?"
That's An, Mr.. Crook
AFTER demurring a little. the young
man began to hand over cash from
a roll of bills. As if accidentally, the
girl at that moment dropped her
handkerchief. Three men who had
been lounging against a store front
across the street Immediately ap-
peared on the scene. They searched
the dealer. found the bills and made
an on-the-spot arrest. The girl -
and the three men - were OPA
agents. The bills were marked. The
dealer faces a speedy trial - with
plenty of his former victims as wit
nesses.
Marked money helped OPA
break up SIS, 900 900 swindle in
used cars down in Leesville, S. c.,
late this summer. The pattern
was very much like that of the De-
troit case. Used cars. spotted" and
brought in from other cities, were
sold at auction in Leesville every
Monday. Dealers, notified by phone
and telegram to come to the cir

tion-rolled into the little town from
IA states. Used 1916 cars, with
only few miles on their speedome-
tiers, frequently were special attrac-
ton at $500 up - for the lowest
priced makes!
But on this particular Monday in
late August some of the dealers"
were OPA agents. They carried
marked money - and they meant
business. We had estimated that,
since the auctions began some time
before. SIS. 900. 900 had changed
hands - $25, ,OOO, 900 of it represent
ing over-ceiling charges which the
car-buying public ultimately had to
pay. Our agents soon put enough
marked bills in the greedy pockets of
key members of the gang to send
them to trial. The next Monday

there was no Circus" at Leesville.
The price laws under which a legal
dealer sells his car are clear and fair.
He must have a list of ceiling
prices posted in his place of busi-
ness. Each car must be tagged
with its proper ceiling. For used
cars there are two ceilings - the
price "as is" or without guarantee
as to working condition, and the
other a higher warranty" price.
This the dealer may charge if he
guarantees that the car is in good
working condition for at least 80
days or l 200 miles, whichever comes
first. You may pay him in cash or
through financing company, whieh-
erer you choose. He must give you a
certificate of transfer, and file a sim
liar certificate with the district OPA
Office, showing payment of the legal
ceiling prices.
The bag of black-market tricks
used to cheat you into paying more
is well known to OPA agents.
Every prospective car buyer should
know these tricks and watch out
for them. Whatever dealer tries
them should be reported to OPA.
Usually the dealer is cagey enough
to put down on the certificates of
transfer only the legal ceiling price
of the car - so that neither you
nor the OPA have any evidence of
an over-ceiling charge. Or he may
cover up his overcharge by writing
down a different and higher-priced
model than the one you bought or by
describing extras that you never
bought - or asked for. Almost al
ways the black marketeer demands
the money for the overcharge in
cash - so that no record of its pay
ment exists. This practice has made
marked money an effective weapon
for OPA agents.
The Txade-in Ewindle
EvAsIvE price practices are as pop
ular as the outright overcharge.
One of the favorites - used now by
unscrupulous dealers for new as well
as for used cars - is to force you
to turn in one car in order to buy
another, without giving you a rea-
sonable value for your old car. If
your old car is worth. say. 500,
and the dealer allows you only $4OO
for it, you are actually paying $500
over ceiling for the car you buy.
OPA regulations require that you
must be given a reasonable trade-in
value - and say. moreover. that
you cannot be forced to trade-in in
the first place. One dealer in the
midwest worked a trick variation on
