Hauck. manager. . - - ' The -arreement with the buyer of the used car Is simply that thel company will take care of all re-H pairs for reasonable wear and tear J for a period of one year, in execs I of a stipulated and agreed per--! remade. u Thus the purchaser knows the maximum cost he will have to pay for repairs ; for titer entire year. Thft! j"?Gna'e varies with ; th cost of the car, cheaper care call Ihe ror; higher maintenance allow ance: The wale of Puget Motors follows': Fifteen hundred and up, 5 per cent; 11,000 to $l,i95, IVz per centf $200 to S905. 10 per cent. - i " ' ' . ' This, does; tsot- include accidents, paint er-tires. If the buyer has to sped.-more than the percentr- asje above given for repairs tht Puget Motors will pay for any ex. cess. Thus the car is bought wiu at definite assurance that ihe re pair bills are limited, and. ff run higher, .that the seller take caret of them , The plan is Just getting under way. but appears to remove one of the greatest sales-resistants the used-car field, the fear of ex. i orbitant repair costs, s 5 it?
