Pointers on Buying a Used Car sold or traded in. During the fall and at the beginning of spring, how- ever, is the best time to buy a used ‘ar, for at these seasons of the year there are always a very large num- ber of used cars on the market and you'therefore have a better selection. The first thing I want to point out is°that there is a great deal of difference in the procedure followed when buying a new car to’that when buying’ a used car. When -you ‘buy a new-car, you know positively that {t {s in. perfect mechanical condition and the prin- cipal points you consider are price, general appearance, riding qualities and power. When you buy a used car, general appearance, although it is important takes second place to. the. mechani- CONDITION OF * © AUSED CAR, 00 NOT BE DECEIVED BY OUTSIDE APPEARANCE ome cal condition of the car, It is a comparatively simple matter to slick up the body finish and paint the running gear and make a used car look nearly as well as a new car. But !f you only knew the con- dition of that: car under the hood and eould know in advance the grief Its owner is going to have and the money it is going to cost for re- pairs, you would quickly decide that when buying a used car, out- side appearance is not quite so im- portant as the condition of the en- gine and running gear.

Another risk you run in buying a used car from a private owner you do not know, is that of getting stolen car,..Thousands of cars are stolen every month by thieves who make a business of it, and it happens every day that a car bought from some unknown person has to be returned to its rightful owner If you do buy a car from someone you do not know, before you pay for it take the car and engine num bers and ask sme insurance com- pany to look it up for you. They will be able to tell you whether the person selling the car is. the right-| ful owner and at the same t!me car give you the exact age of the car The engine number is usually stamped on a plate placed on dasii under hood or on toe bard. | It is always goou policy to ask for a bill of sale describing the ,car fully, its age, condition, and guar- antee and for how long it ts guar- anteed. The usual period covered by a guarantee is 90 days. During this time it is possible to thoroughly test out the car and discover any de- fects and have them remedied be- fore the guarantee expires. Buy- ing a car in this way you usually pay a little more, but it is worth it.

For soni¢ ‘reason a number of peo- ple are suspicious of a)dealer and think they can buy a used car oa cheaper from a ae they not so, for gener owner sells: his the dealer carefully examines cars he se"ls and puts them in good running order. The term “as i is one you should thoroughly undef, stand if you are thinking of buying asused car. / When you buy ‘from a. private owner, you buy “as is’ or. In’ other words if the car has been doped up. in some way or has some. defect which was concealed or temporarily repaired for the demonstration, you have no comeback, for you had a chance to examine the car before you bought it. Once the seller has yYour- money and you have his car, the=transaction {s concluded. When you buy'2 used car “as is,” it Is. more than probable that w#thin a. very short-time you will have to start spending money replacing worn parts. When a reputable dealer takes a used’ car in trade, he has it overhauled in his shops and put in first class condition and all worn parts replaced.
