TAKES STEPS TO STABILIZE
USED CAR PRICES
JUNEAU—The Office of Price
Stabilization took step:-; to sta
bilize prices of used cars in
Alaska. The action was in the
form of an amendment to Ceil
ing Price Regulation 94. which
heretofore governed the price of
used cars only in the States.
Under the regulation, the OPS
will require Alaska used ear
prices be determined by using
the price range fixed for the
West Coast and adding a State
side-to-Alaska transportation al
lowance. This method of deter
mining' prices is in line with
normal trade practices in t lie
Territory.
The allowance which sellers
may add to West Coast prices is
based on actual transportation
charges and is reduced on a per
centage basis as the age of the
vehicle increases. A table of
transportation allowances is con
tained in the regulation, a copy
of which may be obtained at any
Alaska OPS office.
The OPS called attention to
the fact that the used car regu
lation applies to private sellers
as well as dealers and advised
individuals w h o contemplate
selling their car to contact the
OPS to find out the ceiling
price.
The regulati m goes into effect
