April 14, 1985 Castlégit N Buying a used car strongly recommended By ROBERT McLEOD Canadian Press Buying any new car these days is expensive, as a glance at the dealer ads show. And generally the bigger the car, the higher the cost. But the dollar diffrence between buying and operating a small versus a big car may surprise many considering new wheels this spring. Don't forget the purchase price is only the beginning. Runzheimer and Co., a U.S. automotive consulting company with offices in Canada, has done a survey of total motorists costs for a variety of car sizes. It includes not only the purchase price but depreciation, gasoline, insurance, registration fees, interest on the car loan and other expenses such as repairs. Here's what the survey found between big and small, assuming the car is driven 24,000 kilometres annually and financed over three years. A sub-compact driven in a province where motoring costs are low — like Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan — will cost an average of $3,500 a year or 14.6 cehts a kilometre. For a standard full-size car, the survey found costs jump to an average $5,040 a year of 21 cents a kilometre. COSTS GO UP In provinces where motoring costs are high, a sub-compact costs an average $4,200 annually or 17.5 cents a kilometre. For a full-size car, the financial bite is $6,000 or 25 cents a kilometre. So over a three-year period a person can save as much as $5,400 by driving a sub-compact rather than a full-size car. Many people try to reduce the cost of car ownership by buying a second-hand car, a route the Consumers’ Association of Canada strongly recommends. “We advise people to go for used cars,” says Christine Mercer, editor of Canadian Consumer magazine. “They are cheaper to buy and therefore your financing costs are much lower. Even looking into all the miscellaneous costs, they are still a better deal.” The association last did a study on the subject in 1982. It found then that the total cost of buying and running a new 1982 Chevrolet Malibu for four years was $24,750. The cost of running a two-year-old Malibu over the same period was $18,000. Likewise, a new 1982 Toyota Corolla cost $21,570 over four years, while a two-year-old model cost $16,600. LOSES VALUE “A new car loses as much as 30 per cent of its value in its first year,” says Mercer. “It loses another 20 per cent the year after that and then 10 per cent annually. Therefore, by buying a car that is two years old, you save on depreciation. However, used cars may not always be a bargain. They generally require more maintenance and may have a major problem — fraud. Experts with the Ontario Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations estimate that the kilometre total is misrepresented on half of all used cars sold. For example, when a car has been driven 100,000 kilometres, the odometer usually returns to zero. MAY ‘FORGET’ 7 ical sellers may iently “forget” the first 100,000 kilometres and claim the car has gone only the distance shown, says Dave Mitchell, director of enforce- ment for the ministry. Other sellers have been known to roll back the odometer manufally, he says. Although misrepresenting or rolling back the odometer reading is illegal, Mitchell says such tactics are widespread because they are relatively easy and can increase the price of a car by up to $3,000. $275 million FOR AMC Outlook is unclear SOUTHFIELD, MICH. (AP)— The glass walls of his executive suite give the chief of American Motors Corp. the best office view in the car industry. The outlook for small and scrappy AMC, however, is not as clear as the panorama from the 25th floor. “We are going to have a tough two years,” said Jose Dedeurwaerder, AMC's Belgiam-born president, who added chief executive officer to his title in the fall. The two years will be spent finishing a plant in Brampton, Ont., for a new line of upscale, high-profit, midsize cars, said Dedeurwaerder — whose name is pronounced Joe-SAY Ded-duh-wahr-DARE. The company is counting on the midsize autos to change a Detroit axiom — that AMC makes big money on Jeeps but cannot turn a decent profit on a car. Until then, the company faces turbulent times, possibly including a dramatic decision whether to stop making cars in the United States as it has since 1902. Dedeurwaerder told the United Auto Workers in March that AMC's sole U.S. assembly plant — in Kenosha, Wis. — might close at the end of the current production run of the Renault Alliance and Encore subcompact cars. That could come around 1988. PREDATES FORD Kenosha, the oldest operating car assembly plant in America, produced its first model a year before Henry Ford incorporated his company in Detroit, and the plant has turned out a variety of Nashes, Hudsons and Ramblers. AMC turned a $15.5-million profit in 1984, its first since 1979. But sales of the Alliance and Encore are off 38 per cent from last year's pace, falling victim to renewed demand for bigger cars as gasoline prices have sagged from their peak in March 1981. More than one-fifth of the Kenosha workforce is laid off itely while th of Ss at General Motors, Ford and Chrysler put in overtime. Dedeurwaerder said things must change to save the operations at Kenosha, where the average laborer is paid more than his counterparts at the Big Three and where old-style work rules make AMC “uncompetitive.” HURT BY IMPORTS The jump in imports planned by the Japanese, who enjoy an estimated $2,000-per-cent cost advantage, will only make matters worse, he said in an interview. The union and company held talks recently on the method of paying back contract concessions granted during the depths of the industry slump of 1982. The UAW has thecontract right to extract millions of dollars from AMC. But Dedeurwaerder said if it does, the car plant will close. If that issue is resolved, the two sides will have to bargain again for a new contract. The current one expires Sept. 16. “People are always predicting the end of Kenosha,” said Raymond Majerus, the UAW's secretary-treasurer and head of the union's AMC unit. “We have had six-month contracts, one-year contracts. We have never failed to work out a mutually acceptable agreement to keep Kenosha going.” NORITAKE CONTEMPORARY CHINA Sale Continues to April 30 40%_ off SUGGESTED RETAIL | Patterns _ Sugg Sale TAHOE 5 pe Set $ 55.00 $ 33.00 CAROLYN 20 pe Set 219.00 131.40 BLUE HILL 45 pc Set 539.00 323.40 92 pc Set 1067.00 640.20 Also Save 40% on Open Stock Has More Beautiful Ways CARL'S DRUGS Castleaird Plaza 365-7269 Seafood rates 49 Fresh.

CANADA SAFEWAY LIMITED HERE'S THE BALL . NEW YORK (AP) — Coaeh Al Arbour of New York Is. landers has been fined $7,500 and the club an additional $7,500 for actions in a 2-1 double overtime Stanley Cup playoff loss Thursday night against Washington Capitals, the National Hockey League announced Saturday. Arbour was fined after be ing assessed a game mis conduct penalty following the game under NHL Rule 67(b). The other fine was levied be cause of the conduct of Ar bour and other Islanders fol lowing the game, “including making public statements relating to the integrity of the officials and the league.” Washington led the Is landers 2-0 in the best-of-five opening series heading into Game 3 Saturday night at Nassau Coliseum. The furor erupted after Mike Gartner scored the winner for Washington at 1:23 of the second overtime. The Islanders felt the of ficials failed to call Gartner offside before the goal, which they also felt should have been disallowed because Greg Adams interfered with goalie Kelly Hrudey as Gart ner shot. Referee Don Koharski was pinned against the boards by the Islanders and Arbour is reported to have shoved him. Arbour blasted the offici ating and Bill Torrey, the Is landers’ general manager, is reported to have said of the officiating, “It's a double standard.” NHL president John Zieg. ler’s statement said, “Rule 67 (b) requires that I impose upon coach Arbour a sub stantial fine for his conduct Such has been done. It is also the responbility of each club to make sure that all of its employees conduct themsel ves in a manner that does not bring discredit upon the Na tional Hockey League. When a coach and other employees act in a manner detrimental to the welfare of the NHL, the club too must bear res ponsibility for the action of its employees.” Ziegler fined New York Rangers and Philadelphia Flyers $5,000 apiece for their actions at the end of the second period of their Patrick Division semifinal Thursday. .

(AP) — greatness, was a man who Veteran Ray Floyd bounced an eagle putt against the back of the cup, into the air and into the hole on the way to a three-under-par 69 that gave him a one-shot lead Sat urday in the third round of the Masters golf tournament. Floyd, a non-winner since collecting the 18th vietory of his career in the 1982 PGA championship, completed three trips over the hills and valleys, around the streams and ponds of the Augusta National Golf Club course in 212, four shots under par. His closest challenger go- ing into the final round today of the chase for a $126,000 first prize and the famed green jacket that goes to the winner of this, the first of the year's major tests of golfing didn’t expect to be here in the first place and two days ago made plans to leave Curtis Strange, the sea son's leading money-winner on the Professional Golfers’ Association Tour, continued his comeback from an em. barrassing 80 in the opening round with a 68 that placed him at 213, three-under-par and one stroke back Strange’s second son was due on Friday. But the baby was born more than a week prematurely, enabling him to compete here. After his opening round, however, he made plane reservations to his home in Wiliamsburg, Va — then cancelled them after a brilliant 65 in the second round Friday Rockers beaten 28-0 by English team By CasNews Staff Castlegar residents came by the hundreds to Stanley Humphries Sehool playing field Wednesday af- ternoon for an exhibition rugby match. The game between a tour- ing high school age rugby team from England and Stan- ley Humphries Rockers end- ed in a 280 victory in the English team's favor. “That's the way it goes,” commented Rockérs coach Mike Balahura after the game. “They're a very skilled team,” he said, adding that the English team was able to exploit some of Stanley Humphries’ mistakes. “It was our first game of the year,” he said. However, Balahura noted that Rockers were unlucky not to score in the early part of the game. He added that it was an “excellent game.” “We learned a lot about playing rugby,” he said. Balahura said that al- though the score was 28-0, the Rockers played “pretty soundly.” “We tackled really well and defended very well,” he said. “That's why it wasn't a total wipeout. “We did okay, it wasn't an embarrassment.” Balahura estimated that between 400 and 500 people, both students and adults, watched the game. Coach pleased with Canada’s 2-0 victory VICTORIA (CP) — The opening-game jitters are gone and the reservoir of talent can only improve now for Canada’s World Cup soc- cer team. A 20 triumph Saturday over Haiti in the first game of the second round of qualify- ing left Canadian coach Tony Waiters quietly pleased. “You're always looking for four or five goals,” Waiters said after the game, played in front of 4,000 spectators at Royal Athletic Park. “But it's also important not to concede any. I'm well satisfied with 2-0, even though we could have had a third. I don’t think we should be too greedy in this game — or may! should.” The win sends C; the top of its group ahead of Haiti and Guate- mala, which Canada plays in Vietoria next Saturday. The country with the best record after the six-game series ad- vances to the third and final qualifying round in the fall. Canada's away games in the series are scheduled for May 5 in Guatemala City and May 8 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The Canadian team was strengthened Saturday by the last-minute decision of Tacoma Stars of the Major Indoor Soccer League to re- lease veteran defender Bob Lenarduzzi for the game. Lenarduzzi played a strong game, along with fellow cen. treback Randy Samuel, and he expects to be available for the Guatemala game. Chiefs lead series THUNDER BAY, ONT. (CP) — Spokane Chiefs scored three goals in a span of 2:35 in the third period Friday night to defeat Thun der Bay Twins 5-2. The win gave the Chiefs a 1-0 lead in the best-of-seven Allan Cup semifinal series The winner will play either Cornerbrook, Nfid., or Dun. das-Hamilton, who are bat tling in the eastern semifinal. Bruce Cullen, Mike Kou wenhoven and Nels Veneruz brok eopen a close game with the three-goal outburst be ginning at 8:02 of the third period and the Twins couldn't catch up. Bob Scurfield scored the other two goals for Spokane of the Western International Hockey League, which lost the semifinal to Thunder Bay in straight games last year. Gerry Cizmar and Gerald Boldue replied for the Twins, of the Central Amateur Se. nior Hockey League. Randy Kirby made 42 saves in goal for Spokane while Thunder Bay's Glen Wilson stopped 25 shots. The Chiefs took 14 of 25 minor penalties Also expected to be re- leased are his Tacoma team- mates, forward Dale Mitchell and defender Ian Bridge. Mike Sweeney of Duncan, the only other of six MISL Canadians who could have been released for the game scored one of the Canadian goals. He took a pass from forward Ken Garroway of Victoria and rocketed the ball past Haiti goalkeeper Den- eurant Louisthelmy in the 42nd minute. Forward Igor Vrablic of Waterloo, Ont., opened the scoring 12 minutes earlier when he beat Louisthelmy from the same spot. Vrablic has six of the 10 The play of Samuels, who was Canada’s player of the game, made Waiters look like a genius. “When he told me this morning that I was going to start, I said my myself “this is my chance,’ " said the 21-year-old Trinidad-born de- fender from Vancouver. “I'm happy, but I'm not esctatie because this is the way I can play to help the team.” Waiters gave the start to Samuel over Trevor Mc- Callum of the Toronto Bliz- zard and Samuel responded by being named player of the game. “It’s nice to know when you make a decision like that, that no matter who you pick either will do well,” said Wiaters. Also impressive, however briefly, was 18-year-old Can- adian goalkeeper Paul Dolan who was making his debut in World Cup play. The Haitians beat him, but not the crossbar, in the first half and then didn't have another good scoring oppor- tunity until the 88th minute ‘When Dolan stopped Antoin Eleazard on a breakaway. Canada outshot Haiti 21-6, including 13-2 in the first half. Waiters said he hopes that Sweeney, who was a standout, will be available next week, and he will again ask about the status of vet eran goalkeeper Tino Lettieri of Minnesota Strikers and forward Branko Segota of San Diego _Sockers. BASEBALL Jays beaten 8-7 AMERICAN LEAGUE BALTIMORE (AP) — Eddie Murray's three-run homer capped a six-run eighth inning Saturday as Baltimore Orioles battled from a five-run deficit and beat Toronto Blue Jays 8-7.
