CAR SALES

A NORTH Vancouver automobile
dealership has taken a page out of
some United States auto dealers’
‘books and has done away with
sales representatives in one sense.

Specialty Motor Cars president
Rosso Nairpour said that his
dealership will now sell
automobiles by the sticker price.

“*"We still have sales people but
what we've decided to do is just
have one sticker price that is
non-negotiable and that takes the
sales pressure away from the cus-
tomer,’’ said Nairpour.

“We've kept the sales people

but their role will now be to ex-
plain te the customer about the
vehicle.”
' Specialty Motor Cars has had
the new concept in place since
Aug. 4 and Nairpour said the new
systern has received ‘‘really posi-
tive results” from customers.

Several automobile - dealerships
in the United States have already

been experimenting with the idea
of having one sticker price and
doing away with sales repre-
sentatives,

The CNN TV network has also
aired a story about the new
change in the automobife industry.

BANK PRESENTATION

GARY BADER, North Shore
area manager for the Royal Bank,
recently presented a cheque for
$1,000 to Randy Frost, executive
director of the Nerth Shore
Counselling Centre.

The Royal Bank is a sponsor in
the Supporter category for the
fund-raising Hoedown which will
be held at the Gleneagles Golf
Club on Oct. 17.

The North Shore Counselling
Cenire is actively seeking the sup-
port of other community-spirited
businesses as a sponsor or a con-
tributor of silent auction items.

Funds raised provide counsell-
ing help for low-income families
in the local community who are
dealing with stress, marital prob-
lems and other issues.

The Hoedown was a sold-out
event last year when everyone
donned cowboy duds, feasted on a
western buffet and stomped to the
music of No Mean Feat.
