THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, MARCH &, 1930, - ANALYZE THE ALLOWANCE ON Your Usep Car If a dealer pays you more than the true worth of the car he must make up the dif- ference by extra charges on the new car or re-sell it to some one else at too high a price ERMANENT value is always better than a tem- porary bargain in the pnrcha's.e. of an .lutomobils‘_. It pays to. look ahead and consider (i-eliability ‘and ‘ultimate np-fiee‘p costs, as well as comfort, safety, speed and beauty of line and color. Since most automobiles are:bought for replace- ment, the value set on your used ‘car is a factor in almost every purchase. Frequ‘ently it is given an importance beyond its true worth. Used cars have a definite market value and you are justly'enlitledto an allowance based on that value. It is not fair that yon receive less. It is not to your best interests to receive more. ' Il‘a tieder pays 'yon more than the true worth of the car he must either re-sell it to some one else at too high a price or make up the difference on - the new car. This he cannot do unless he is allowed an excessive profit on the car or on financing, extra equipment and other charges. In either case jou pay the bill, for no way has yet been found to give something for nothing. The monéy must come from somewhere.

Ford charges are riot marked up or increased to cover a high trade-in allowance on your old car, » e » . Because there is no waste, extravagance or un- due profit in manufacturing. or distribution, every dollar you pay for a Foi-d brings a full dollar in- - return. In lower first cost, in' reliability aud ldng - life, in the low cost of opé;afion, service and i‘éplieg- ment parts, the Ford will save you much more than the seeming difference in trade allowance. .
