Re: Good buy on used cars, 1918
I called, but kept getting a message about "invalid" number.
I would like to draw attention to the "solid comfort" the sedan and
coupelet offer. Much the same as the solid comfort afforded to me
in my closed cab TT. Gotta remind myself of that, next time I go on
a drive.

The 17 roadster for $425. You could have bough a new 18 for $500. I guess used car sales people back then were much the same as they are now.

$75 off for last years model was a great deal - about a couple months worth of paychecks. I just wish I could find a '12 touring for $225... and why the '13 was cheaper.

Keep in mind $500.00 new was the price F. O. B. Detroit. I don't think Ive ever seen any figures for transport and dealer prep in the era, but it surely would have figured into used car values.BobShirleyAtlantaTx wrote: ↑Sat Nov 14, 2020 10:45 pmThe 17 roadster for $425.
