Years ago, you could pretty much figure on just about three different makes of cars to select from. Everyone had their favorites and as far as colors went, well youd better like black or white! Financing was much different back then as well. If you did not have A+ credit you could figure on walking or finding an alternate form of transportation. There were no alternatives for borrowing. It was the bank or a finance company.You did not have much trouble back then with selecting a dealer either. Each town or municipality generally had one dealer for each of the three major manufacturers and that was it.What about used cars, you ask? Well, you bought those at the new car dealer. They were almost always cars that were traded in on a newer model. The other thing you did not find much of back then was hype. Somewhere along the industrialized way car salesmen picked up a bad reputation for promising the moon and not even delivering the blue cheese!The sad thing is that as the market became larger so did competition.
