THE EVENING STAR, 'WASHINGTOL*. D. C, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1926 ECTS about the prices of new cars Wthh ~every car buyer should know In the interest of the public and of our dealers, all advertisements of General Motors cars carry this statement: *Consider the delivered price as well as the list {f0.b.} price when comparing automobile values. Our dealers’ delivered prices include only authorized charges for freight and delivery, and the charge for any additional accessories or financing desired.” WHEN you buy a new automobile, it is the de/ivered price that you actually pay. The delivered price consists of the list price of the car—the f.o.b. price advertised by the manufacturer— plus certain other charges which the dealer makes. You are entitled to know what those charges are and what they are for. This information is necessary to prop- erly compare motor car values. In keeping with General Motors’ policy of frankness, ' General Motors dealers have adopted a standard price tag which explains exactly what their charges are. The tag is attached to the steering wheels of new cars on dis- play in their showrooms. It shows the list price of the car and the following other items: 1. Freight and Delivery. An authorized amount to cover the freight charges paid by the dealer and the cost of unloading, inspecting, supplying fuel and oil— preparing the car for delivery to you. 2. Accessories. A’ charge for any additional acces- sories that may be purchased. The price tag tells all. No other items are added. Nothing is hidden. There is no extra charge to permit a seemingly better trade-in offer. No extra charge to cover advertising, etc. Each charge is fair and reasonable. General Motors dealers invite you to make their tag your guide in comparing automobile values. The real measure of value is the delfvered pm'e——for that is the If you wish to purchase on time payments, find out and compare the finance charges. General Motors dealers offer convenient terms at reasonable cost.
