Rebates...
From Page One
on each car was probably lower as the car was faster, but the sales the company would want.
General Motors announced a sales increase of 54 per cent since the beginning of the rebate program, but that is still a 7.3 per cent decline from sales of a year ago.
Akls, sales manager at John Haddock Ford, said Ford's rebate program, which offers rebates of up to $800, had increased from $399 in 2015 to $499 in ship's sales hadn't been as low as a year ago.
"For the first ten days of 1975 our sales were actually higher than they were last year."
The Haddock dealership is an exception to the trend because of Ford's 25 per cent decline in sales from the same period last year.
American Motors doesn't have a Lawrence dealership but started its rebate program the same time GM did. AMC offers rebates of up to 80 and, like GM, its rebate is based on the sale rate for the company's total sales to make an effect in the industry's latest figures.
While dealers' of the four American corporations welcomed the increase in car buyer interest caused by the rebate on foreign car dealers look at it another way.
The local foreign car dealers haven't experienced a sales decline because, with the energy crisis came a rush for small cars and better gas mileage. The trend has continued in spite of the rebates from domestic corporations.
Ralph Lewis, sales manager of Lawrence Toyota, said the imports had no rebate programs because there was really no need for one.
"The domestics are down, but the imports are up." Lewis said. "Consequently their demand for imported goods is growing."
He said Lawrence Toyota's sales were about the same as a year ago and the reason for that was high-priced gas and the increasingly economic conscious consumer.
Tony Wolf, manager of Jayhawk Volkswagen, said VW sales were down somewhat, but he placed the blame on the executives and the rebates of the domestic corporations.
" their rebel programs have no effect at all on Volkswagen," he said. "People are hanging on to every penny they have until they hear what President Ford has to say." Wolf said he didn't think Volkswagen would begin a rebaute program.
New car buyers will have to hurry to cash in on the rebates because Chrysler's rebate program is supposed to end Feb. 16 and the other three companies that pay rebates are expected to end Feb. 24. The four corporations have said they have an intention of extending these deadlines.

Happy Birthday, VISTA!
Ten years ago VISTA was born without much fanfare. Not many people noticed—of those who did, not many cared.
VISTA can't offer much money and the other tangible benefits aren't much to write home about. The community you intend to serve won't welcome you with a big brass band and there will be certain people who won't want you at all. And, when you've left one or two years later, you'll carry around the nagging suspicion that your contribution created not the smallest ripple in the cosmic sea.
VISTA has survived and developed and continues to search for people who care about the people most people don't care much about.
But throughout the U.S. there are poor communities that need your skills in business or education or health or planning or architecture or law or any of the liberal arts and sciences. Talk with a recruiter this week about opportunities in 1975
