Used Car Market SIupj)
Is Only Slight In State
;" The slump in ' the' "Used Car"
market of the United States has not
been as marked in North Carolina as
in many sections of the country, but
at the same time it has been sufficient
to affect . unfavorably the new oar
market to some extent according to
records in the Division of Motor Ve
hicles of the Department of Revenue
at Raleigh. ,
1 'Exact figures on the sale of used
ears for the psst few months are not
immediately available, as they are
usually worked out through the is
suance of licenses ', and transfers of
titles. V "V, v" " "'t
' However, it appears' that there i
some danger that the state's automo
bile dealers wiH soon be faced with
quite problem in ' disposing of the
many used cars they have on hand.
These used car owners are in the
lover income brackets and are of the
class hardest hit by the high taxes
on ' motor fuel and oiL v Not only is
this excessive taxation unfair to the
principles of true democracy, officials
of the Petroleum Industry Committee
point out but it is a cause of econom
ic depression. If those taxes were
reduced to reasonable levels, they de
clare, millions of dollars of additional
purchasing power would be given to
the 110000-sfled car families in the
United States,' ; s
