High car prices aren't
always bad, That's a state-
ment most would agree
with when they are selling
their own cars as used.
In most cases, the ele-
vated prices of new cars
have had a corresponding
hike in the value of the
used vehicle. This is par-
ticularly so when the old-
er car appeals to a buyer.
An expert says
A survey of professional
buyers' who work for new
and used car dealerships
revealed some "tricks of
the trade" that help them
determine prices of cars.
Said one expert, "A used
car that's in top condition
can bring as much as $500
more than a nearly iden-
tical car that's been neg-
lected. In fact, if the neg-
lect is severe enough, the
trade-in may have virtu-
ally only scrap value —
even if it's a fairly late
model car "
Physical looks of the car
are important but appear-
ance must be more than
cosmetic deep, another ex-
pert claimed. A fresh paint
job might look nice at first
glance but if it's hiding
damage, 'it could hurt the
sale.
Do it promptly
His advice, "As soon as a
minor bump, nick or rust
spot appears have it at-
tended to by a good pro-
fessional repair man."
Also, keeping a car clean
at all times is the best
protection against prema-
ture paint wear. Again, if
you do need a paint job, a
quality job by a well-equip-
ped shop could pay off at

trade-in time. '
Engine condition
Engine condition is the
next most suspect question
of the potential buyer.
A Pennsylvania used car
man remarked, "I have a
lot of customers who are
trading in older cars be
cause they are having
chronic starting trouble.
And you can bet the first
thing they look for in
their newer purchase is
starting ease. Investing in
a good set of plugs and
making sure the battery
is operating strong is a
good investment before
trade-in."
Have a cheek done
A California used car
dealer advised, "A reverse
twist on an old habit could
bring in extra dollars, too.
Smart buyers want to have
their mechanics look over
a car before they purchase
to make sure there aren't
any obvious and expensive
defects. As a private seller,
you might be smart to
have your mechanic look
over the car to take care
of defects like obvious oil
leaks that could kill a
sale."
A Florida dealer says
the first look a prospec-
tive customer gets at a
car may be the most crit-
ical one. On that basis,
it would pay the owner
either to send his car to
a professional recondi-
tioner or be prepared to
exert a little extra elbow
grease of his own.
Naturally, the car
should be cleaned and pol-
ished, inside and out. Up-
holstery should be cleaned
with a good shampoo,
glass and metal surfaces
made spotless.
Ganges and lights, too
A gauge that is not op-
erating or a light that is
out can stick out like a
sore thumb.
