YoungFord Stonewal and Brevard Streets 372-2750 Charlottes Lptown downtown dealer Car Buyers Helper New And Used Cars Ever feel like the proverbial fish out of water when it comes to buying a car? You know the routine. You go from dealer to dealer, and the more you look, the more confused you are. Your feet are killing you. Facts, figures and “deals” bang into your brain like sledge hammers. You thought you wanted red, but that metallic blue sure was pretty! It had all the i options you wanted, but the salesman wouldn’t dicker. You’re convinced he “saw you coming,” put you down as a sucker. Maybe he did. Car salesmen are smart cookies. After all, that’s how they make their living, isn’t it? But they’re really nice guys. Maybe what you need is someone on YOUR side, someone who knows car salesmen, knows how to talk their language. : Someone who will work to get YOU a really good deal. That’s where I come in. I scour the car I market daily. I know which dealers will talk husiness I know when their inventories are high and they’ll REALLY get down to brass tacks. National pricing services keep me current on established prices of new and used cars, thus providing leverage when it comes time to talk price. Just last week I saved a client • over seven hundred dollars on a ’73 station wagon...and even in these inflated times, that ain’t hay! By the way, I have no connection whatso ever with any dealer in Charlotte or any 1 place else. I get no kickbacks from them. My only income is from YOU-the client. My fees are low. Why not give me a ring at 332-3813 and let’s see what we can do? Cordially, Walter C.
