Q. Dear D r. Boothe:
1 recently bought a used car
ar.d I was told by the dealer
that it had been throroughly
reconditioned.
It really did
look sharp. The dealer fu r
ther assured me that If any
thing went wrong with the car
to just bring it in and they
would fix it, at no extra cost
to me. W ell, I had the car
less than a week when I found
that it needed new brakes and
a complete tune-up and also
that the m otor needed ex-ten
sive work, as it smoked
te rrib ly bad.
I have been
trying for over two months
to get this dealer to fix it.
They have been really nice'
to me, and they haven't said
they won’ t fix my car, but
tl« y keep giving me the run
around and the car doesn't
even run any more, and even
if it did, it has no brakes.
What can I do?
A. Dear C ar Buyer:
I have no way of knowing
what kind of w ritten gua rar tee
you got from the dealer when
you bought the car o r what
would he covered by It. You
have obviously placed too
much emphasis on what the
dealer o r salesman said and
not enough emphasis on the
car. if a dealer o r salesman
fails
to meet the terms
spelled o u fln a w ritten guar
antee o r warrantee, theD^S.’ s
office is the place to go.
However, most dealers guar
antees do not cover the items
which you spelled out.
If
the dealer o r salesman told
you that the ca r had heen
reconditioned,
that
could
mean anything from vacum
in ing the inside, to merely
washing
the windows and
would not necessarily have
anything to do with the mech
anical aspects of the car.
If you have been getting the
run-around fo r two months
and the car Isn’ t even d rive -
able any more, you may have
learned a very expensive les
son in used car buying. But,
because the dealer has not
fla tly refused to fix the car.
there ts a chance all is not
lo st.
Pin the dealer down
ta c tfu lly .
It is certain that
he w ill not want to go the
entire b ill fo r fixing the car,
but he may be able to give
you enough of a break that
it may be worth your while,
especially since you have had
very little service from the
c a r.
If you and the dealer
enter into an agreement on
the repairs make sure that
everything Is included and
make sure he gives you a
firm cost analysis, the check
around and make sure that
he is actually saving you
money. It may be that you
w ill be better off getting the
car repaired at a more re
putable dealer.
But before
you buy anything else, o r
make any more deals with
anyone, get a copy of the
consumers buying guide. It
w ill cost you $ 1.00 and is dis
tributed through the Portland

in my youth it seems that

was always theatre, music,

Sadie Holiday was a short,

and laughing eyes fille d out
a beautiful contoured face.
She had a te rrific zest fo r life
and loved everybody, es
pecially younger people, she
always felt that being around
younger people kept her young,
and vibrant. Therefore the
friendship between Sadie Hol

until her death.
B illie Holiday never visited
her mom spontarieousely with

to get B illie over. She would
save special foods, and on
many occasions she had to
eat them the next day herself.
But she usually pretended that
B illie showed up real late
and they had a wonderful v is it.
Nobody had the heart to bust
her bubble.
B illie was never extrava
gant with her money when It
came to special appreciation
fo r her mother. B illie ’ s white
manager pushed $ 100,00 b ills
on Sadie occasionally, which
usually lielped tie her over
