tutting Car in Good Condition
For Trade-in, Means Better Deal
SHORT TAKES ON CAR CARE
Are you thinking about sell- •
ing your car yourself rather
than trading? There are a few
things you can do to help Old
Faithful sell quicker and for a
better price.
Your prospective customers
will be much more aware of
certain idiosyncrasies which
you have learned to live with
but which might not cost much
to fix. Worn carpeting, for ex-
ample, can be covered with
attractive contour floor mats
for a few dollars,
One thumping tire might be
replaced with your good spare,
This creates a much better
driving impression and ought
to be done anyway.
Don't Overlook
A noisy muffler or a missing
engine, things you may have
been planning to take care of,
can make the big difference
between sale and no sale. Es-
pecially if your prospect has
been shopping good cars in
your price range.
Maybe you have become ac-
customer to compensating
for slightly loose steering or
slightly grabbing brakes. Don't
try to sell your car in this con-
dition! You might lose your
customer and your car , . in
a ditch. Instead, invest a few
dollars to have a car you know
is right when you turn over
the keys.
One service found successful
by reputable used car dealers
is a lube job and oil change.
A clean, new sticker on the
door jamb gives the buyer in-
creased confidence in the car
and the person selling it. The
cost is peanuts.
This is not to say you should
go overboard in fixing up to
sell. Some people have learned,
to their dismay, that a cheap
dent repair or inadequate
paint job can actually work
against them.
Shabby paint is much easier
on the eye than a poor paint
job which often makes a pros-
pective buyer wary of possible
accident repair that he thinks
you are trying to cover up.
Little Things, Too
Use discretion and you will
see good returns on your pre-
sale investment. Think how
you would feel about it if you
were buying the car. Does it
look` as if somebody cares? Is
the interior clean? You can
take care of this yourself with
special upholstery cleaners
available at your auto supply
store. And a professional vac-
' uuming at your service station
will help matters considerably,
With everything up to snuff,
you ought to be able to sell the
car much more quickly than if
you had not invested a little
money and some of your own
time in it.
In fact, you might decide to
keep it.
•••••••••.••••••••••••••••
In cleaning your windshield,
don't forget the inside. Tobac-
co smoke can put a film Of
residue on the glasg and dis-
tort vision. So, if you smoke,
periodically clean the wind-
shield with a window washing
solvent.

"Let's See How Fast She
Can Go"--Famous Last
Words . , . Drive Safely
What's a safe distance to
follow another car? Experts
recommend one car length for
every 10 miles per hour of
speed on dry roads. When
roads are slippery, the dis-
tance between should be dou-
bled.

`Stay On Top Of
Weather' Advice
To Motorists .
Smart automobile owners'
make it a special point during
fall and winter to "Stay on top
of the weather."
This means knowing in ad-
vance not only what weather
conditions may be tomorrow,
hut what they are like in the
area toward which the motor-
ist is headed on a longer than
"just about town" trip.
It is the car radio, of course,
that is your "any time" pipe-
line to the wanted weather in-
formation, available from sta-
tions everywhere.
When on a trip, one should
have no difficulty in picking up
broadcasts from stations in
areas toward which the motor-
ist is travelling. In addition to
call letters they usually idol-
tify the thy from which they
are broadcasting.
WHEN TO REPLACE
How Often should spark
plug cables be replaced? Ae-
tording to ignition systern
pertS, the cables should be te-
plated after every third spark
plug change or at 30,000 miles
— whichever comes tint,
