The only outlet that does not seem to happy is the car dealer. Most of them claim that new car buying has hit a record low for this time of the year. It could be that people who have enough moâ€" ney to buy a new car are waiting until the new models come out. Or it could be that most people are like us and haven‘t enoug!r money to afford a new car the way prices are. ig':nkly it might be a good move on the part of car manufacâ€" turers to just quit making cars unâ€" til Mr. Abbott comes to his senses and realizes that an automobile is not a luxtiry he claims, but a very important part of modern business and living.
