Used-car dealers agree prices are dropping, but caution customers not to expect a steal. “Whenever new-car prices come down, every car in the fleet, all the way down to the one going to the junkyard tomorrow, reduces in va lue,” said Arvid Jouppi, a Detroit au tomotive analyst. “Used-car prices will go down because of the surplus created by the new-car sales.” General Motors Corp. and Ford Motor Co. last month began offering 2.9 percent interest rates in an effort to clear the showrooms of 1986 cars. Chrysler Corp. quickly followed with 2.4 percent financing, and then American Motors Corp., whose sales this year have been running about half those of a year before, weighed in with interest-free loans on most models. The low rates will end Oct. 8, the automakers said. Jouppi estimated 1.5 million used cars will rumble into the market as owners trade them in for new-car bargains. The greater supply of used cars and the need to compete with cheaper new cars will shave as much as 10 percent off used-car prices, Jouppi said. And lower used-car prices will steer some buyers away from new models, said David Healy, auto motive analyst with the New York brokerage house Drexel Burnham Lambert. “I figure that a 1 percent change in used-car prices can swing new-car sales by about 50,000 cars for the in dustry on an annual basis,” Healy said. The domestic automakers sold 8.2 million cars last year. Rick Cantalini, used-car manager of King Charlie Hillard Ford-Mazda in Fort Worth, Texas, said the extent to which prices go down will depend upon the car. World Briefs Reagan seeks funding for new shuttle WASHINGTON (AP) —Presi dent Reagan formally asked Con gress Tuesday for money to re store the space shuttle fleet to four ships, even as the man he picked to rehabilitate NASA de clared “a fifth orbiter is absolutely imperative.” NASA Administrator James C. Fletcher said a start on the fifth ship “will have to be made in the next year or two.” The National Aeronautics and Space Administration also an nounced the formation of a task force to make recommendations on how the station will be oper ated. 3 die as plane crashes in Army airfield FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. (AP) — A Tennessee National Guard transport plane crashed and caught fire while trying to land Tuesday, killing three people and injuring two, authorities said. The C-130 plane, with a crew of five from the 118th Tactical Airlift Command in Nashville crashed at Campbell Army Air Field about 2:10 p.m., said Capt. Dan Schmidt, a Fort Campbell spokesman. The plane “apparently did not hit the runway, but crashed while attempting to land,” Schmidt said. He said the transport was on a training mission when it crashed at the fort near the Ken- tucky-Tennessee border. Stock market fails for third day in row NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market had a third straight losing session Tuesday after a strong tone at the opening soured. The Dow Jones average of 30 industrials fell 4.50 to 1,884.14. Buyers at first rallied to the blue chips and the average rose more than 12 points. But the buyers lost interest and the blue chip in dicator fell as it has each session since last Thursday when it reached a record closing high of 1,919.71. Western Air Lines was the vol ume leader with more than 4.1 million shares traded, due to ru mours they had received a take over offer from Delta Air Lines. No rise predicted for crude oil buying WASHINGTON (AP) — The Energy Department won’t speed up purchase of crude oil for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve un less prices fall, Secretary John S. Herrington said Tuesday. And while the department is soliciting bids from domestic pro ducers, it is still discussing terms with Mexico, the most recent sup- - plier to the 505-million-barrel re serve in salt domes on the Gulf coasts of Texas and Louisiana, Herrington said. He told reporters he would like to be adding to the reserve at 100,000 barrels a day, the practi cal limit of intake capacity, but “the price may be a little high to go to that large a purchase.” Western Airlines purchased by Delta LOS ANGELES (AP) — West ern Airlines Inc. s said Tuesday it agreed to be acquired by Delta Air Lines Inc. for $860 million.
