By apply- ing your car with Wynn's Fresh Air Conditioning/ teats System Odour Treatment at least twice a year (spring and fall) you can affect the areas where mold and mildew build-up occurs.

To apply, make sure that your windows, doors and air vents are open. Holding the can upright, the extension tube is inserted into the trigger. Place the tube directly into the outside air intake vent located on the exterior at the base of the windshield. With the ignition on, the air conditioning fan is turned on high - select- ing fresh, not re-circu- lated air. Then the product is sprayed into the outside air intake vent for 5 - 8 seconds. After three minutes, the selector is switched to full heat and the treat- ment repeated. Before you know it, your car will smell as fresh as new! Wynn's Fresh Air Air Conditioning/Heating System Odour Treatment is available across Canada at Canadian Tire, Zellers and many other outlets, making it easier for you to breathe easy. A buy-back loan versus a lease On the surface, what's known as a buy-back -- or residual-value auto loan may look sim- ilar to a leasing arrange- ment because of its low monthly payments. But there's a fundamental distinction, say financ- ing experts: "The main difference between a buy-back residual value loan and a lease is, you own the car," says lan Reid, Product Manager, Automotive Financing, PREFERRED AUTO BODY & COLLISION Quality Guaranteed 1223 King Street, Manchester Derek Grant Q8§-4158 Gary Grant Insurance Approved Status Unibody Repairs Specialists Replacement Cars Available Color Match Specialists a Whitby Location 10 Sunray St., Unit 16 and Industrial Office Chair Casters IN STOCK! Royal Bank. "The Royal Buy-Back offers more flexibility -- you may pay the loan out at any time without penalty and can sell or refi- nance the car at the end of the term. Also, you can finance up to 100 per cent of the vehicle. There are no acquisi- tion fees or security deposit required with the Buy-Back." Both arrangements calculate monthly pay- ments based on the dif- ference between a car's initial price and its expected residual value at the end of a term. But, with a buy- back loan, that residual value is deducted from the principal you repay during the term. You pay interest-only on the buy-back value, and principal plus interest on the remaining loan balance (calculated by subtracting the buy- back value from the total amount of the loan.) You can then sell or refinance the car at the end of the term. You can try your own financing scenarios on Royal Bank's interactive web site at www.royal- bank.com/carloan. Six ways to save when shopping for a new car I. Buy a Small Car: Mark-ups are generally much higher on full- size, sports and luxury cars, compared to smaller, more fuel-effi- cient models which tend to be priced lower by auto makers. 2. Negotiate for Options: If the dealer isn't willing to shave off any more dollars, begin to negotiate for options, where there's more flex- ibility. 3. Forget The Newest Model: During the first few months of introduc- tion, the high demand on brand-new models means dealers don't have to bargain. 4. Check Out Demos: Start looking for deals after mid-year, when dealerships begin to make room for new models. Check into the availability of demon- strator models. 5. Don't Be Lured: If you're checking out an advertised sale, stay focused on the model that's discounted even if the dealer tries to distract you with oth- ers on display. 6. Have Financing Ready: Most dealers offer financing, but it's a good idea to have your own plans in place. With a pre-approved car loan, a lender approves the amount you can borrow before you start shopping. You'll walk in knowing what you can afford and what your monthly payment will be -- and you'll be less tempted to get talked into any costly extras at the last minute.
