I am considering purchasing a 1985 Renault Alliance 2 door with the 1.7 litre engine, A/C and auto transmission. I know that I must buy the power steering option with automatic transmission. Has anyone out in net land recently bought an Alliance? Any pros and cons would be welcome. Please reply by mail. Thanks. Art Steinman Path..houxu!ahs

I found out about it while shopping for a Jeep. It sure saves a lot of shopping around. I doubt any deal you work out on your own would be any better. It would pay to ask if they have deals for other companies, too. Doug Williams AT&T Bell Laboratories Reading, PA rduxb!williams

However, I negotiated 3% above dealer cost for my 81 Mercury Lynx and my father routinely negotiates deals in the 2%-3% range above dealer cost. In addition, dealers will occasionally advertize "$1 under dealer invoice" and similar sales, so watch for those. Be aware, though, that in such sales the dealer will often buy the car at a discount from the factory, then the factory will print them up an official-looking invoice for the *un*discounted price. -- David Keaton New Mexico Tech ucbvax!unmvax!nmtvax!keaton
