+ Honest John ..Jim Careul was looking for a second car for city driving. He was speaking with Honest John; a local used car salesman, about a lale model subcompact that would fit his need very well. The car was a few years old, had low mileage, and the body (with original paint) had no rust. Written on the windshield was "Cream Puff - $1,200." Aller a test drive and an under-the-hood examination, Jim found the engine in excellent condition. But he was somewhat doubtful about the transmission. This model year had had a poor frequency of-repair record dominated by transmission failures. This particular model even boasted a consumer association which was currently bringing suit against the manufacturer.. Jim knew a $500 transmission repair might be necessary before long, An identical car was available from the local Big Three dealer. They would guarantee the car for 3 months or 3,000 miles, but they relused to accept less than $1.450. Jim was tempted to accept, since he had several friends who had bought similar cars and they had been very satisfied. Jim knew for $20 he could arrange a transmission test at a local franchised specialist. If the specialist detected a fault, the transmission could be refilted for $200, guaranteed to eliminate the risk of failure (and a bill of $500). However, if the specialist said the transmission was "OK," he refused to guarantee that failure might not occur at some future time. In the specialist's view, about half the transmissions he had inspected for this model year had required a refil. Jim was uncertain what to do. The situation was complicated by Honest John's requirement for a 5% ($60) nonrefundable deposit if Jim wished to have the transmission checked. If Jim should decide to buy from Honest John, the $60 could be credited toward the purchase of the car (or any other on John's lot). In addition, John indicated the $1,200 price was still negotiable
