BASIC FACTS Jor the AUTOMOBILE 1 Your present car has only one funda- mental basis of value; i.e.,what the dealer who accepts it in trade can get for it in the used car market. 2 Your present car has seemingly different values because competitive dealers are bidding to sell you a new car. 3 "The 'largest ' allowance offered is not necessarily the best deal for you. Some- times it is; sometimes it is not. 4 An excessive allowance may mean that you are paying an excessive price for the new car in comparison with its real value. 5 First judge the merits of the new car in comparison with its price, including all delivery and finance charges. Then weigh any difference in allowance offered on your present car. Remember that you are making a purchase, not a sale.
