The plain—and sometimes painful—fact is that the

Whether he receives good value depends very
largely on the dealer's integrity.
AMITIANS
Because these things are so, we go to some lengths
to protect the interests of our used car customers.
We strive to see that the buyer receives full money's
worth in each and every one of our used cars.
Our method of valuation, our re-conditioning work,
our good name, and our desire for good will, all
dictate good used car value, and safeguard the used
car buyer.
