This can work to your advan- tage, provîding you know the rules of the game. Firet, you, must be realie- tic about your purchase. Don't be swayed by the nifty looks of a car or, the eaee with which financing can be arranged. And beware of paying for expensive options. In aIl Dollar Sense offers generai Oinancial advice by- mern- bers of The Inetitute of Chartered Accouatauts of Ontario. cases, it is better to buy a good quality car than a cheap model laden -with gimmicks. A two-tone, three-speed ashtray.is use- lese if the car is worn out at 40,000, miles. Remember, elvery penny' of, the.ia price is a penny you must earn. Many buyers seem to think it doesn't- matter whether they borrow $5,000 or $5,500 to buy a new car. Weil, that extra M500couid pay 'for a fair amount of gasoline. And -remember, you must earn perhape SM0 or more, to have 8500. after-tax money to spend. So be realistic. Decide in' advance what your'afford. able prioce range ie .. and stick to it. The dealer wil also have a price range; the trick ie to make him bring his price intlo your range. To do this, the best ploy at your disposai is to waik out- of the showroom. Even if hie lateet offer is accept- able to you, thank the salés. man for hie time and go home. There *ie a prime tenet- of car saleemanship that saye: they neyer corne back. So' you will ot be aiiowed to Walk away with- out hearing -his loweet o ffe r. Once- you have deter- mined the- lowest offer among ail the dealers you have tried, go back and buy, without furt her-argument. And' go back to thie saine salesman --that is only fair.' If you stick -to your price range -. and buy quaiity, not frilîs - you will corne away with a. good deai.' If your dream1 car ie too expen s ve, lower 'your sight. Many modele frorn the 'am e m anufac ture r share the samne pow er train*, suspension and chaseie. The more expensive modele are dreeeed up with fancy' carpets, uphoistery' and -so forth..
