Electric Companies WHAT IS THAT SECOND STICKER? WHY IS THE SECOND STICKER THERE? r^a As you've gone shopping for a new car, you've probably Carolina Power ft Light 264-5111 seen some cars with two stickers on the window. Some dealers add these charges to the cost of their cars, so that they can 'discount' their cars more. Georgetown City Electric Dept 546-6151 That second sticker is called an addendum. Webster Therefore just showing you a false and misleading defines an addendum as "something added: Addition." discount. Santee Cooper 237-9222 And that's exactly what an addendum does. It adds to As an example, say the addendum adds $800.00 to the the cost of the car. cost of the car. During the negotiation over price, the Santee Electric Co-Op 546-4521 dealer knocks $800.00 off his price. Charges are added for a lot of things like: Dealer handling- Dealer prep- He looks like a hero, but he's just quoting his real sticker Total deal- Limited availability- price...and he's sticking it to you. Dealer markup* The list of add-ons is endless... OUR POLICY

Adding the second sticker is a questionable practice, so here at C&O CHEV./OLDS, we avoid it.

So, you might say we're at a disadvantage when we talk 'discounts'.

But we don't think so
