LETTER: Have you tried to buy a new car lately?

Have you noticed how many car sales advertisements are shown on television? Many car dealers air ads for sales but, when you call them, they will tell you there is a shortage of new vehicles, and you have to put down a deposit to reserve a car. It is also a seller’s market, and you cannot be choosy. You have to purchase what they have at a 25 percent higher price than usual.
