Chance Program

VolkSwagen dealers plan q
sweeping rehabilitation Of their
used-car sales program. it was
announced following a meeting
with the area distributor in

Their actions will coincide
with a Nationwide used-car
merchandising program, the
first of its kind undertaken by
imported-car dealers, according
to Alan M. Dix, managing di-
rector of Capitol Car Distrib-
utors, Ltd, which serves the
District of Columbia, Maryland,
Virginia, West Virginia. North
Carolina and Eastern Tennes-
see.
The program is being offered
so that dealers may develop q
fully rounded sales program,
and become more competitive
in today's fast-changing, small
car market, Mr.. Dix said.
Primarily, it viii enable them
to meet legitimate trade-in al
lowances offered by competitive
dealers, he said. Second, Volks-
wagen dealers who have been
wholesaling trade-ins will be
able to increase overall profits
by retailing.
Mr.. Dix pointed out that
American car dealers earn as
much from used-car sales as
from new-car sales, and most
could not survive without their
llSed-car business.
