" ' t-i'-! -I MmMdTnmmkt How best can I trade in my present car for a new car?1 WHEN you are ready to trade in your present car for a new car, you naturally want full value for your pres ent car. But most of all you want full new car value. It will therefore pay you to consider varying trade-in allowance offers in the light of these basic facts: IYour present car has only one funda mental basis of value: i.e., what the dealer who accepts it in trade can get for it in the used car market 2 Your present car has seemingly different values because competitive dealers are bidding to sell you a new car. 3 The largest allowance offered is not necessarily the best deal for you. Sometimes it is; sometimes it is not. 4 An excessive allowance may mean that you are paying an excessive price for the new car in comparison with its real value. 5 First judge the merits of the new car in comparison with its price, includ ing all delivery and finance charges. Then weigh any difference in allowance offered on your present car. 6 Remember that you are making a purchase not a sale. You are buy ing a new car and simply using your present car as a credit against the new car's purchase price. WE publish this message, believing that the public is entitled to have all the facts. And we invite you to send for the facts about General Motors products by using the coupon below. GENERAL MOTORS --------CLIP THE COUPON'" -------- GENERAL MOTORS (Dept.
