look at this ad i snapped on my cell, it's crazy!

 

Seen it before, sometimes advertised as a free second car. It's all worked into the numbers. Nothing new.

 

that's nuts

 

There was an ad similar to this one broken down and translated in Car & Driver except it was a Dodge dealer with a BOGO offer. Here's how it broke down in the Dodge ad:

- Buy a new Durango at list price, forgoing all rebates which total $11,747.
- Get a used Avenger for "free"...value? $11,747

 

i dont get it.

 

ive seen those "buy one get one free" ads, mostly with kias and daewoos. the sad thing is, that piece of shit hyundai accent is only worth a dollar brand new.

 

Better than most American cars that retail for $12,000...

 

 

I thought they mis-spelled Assurance.

 

Yeah, but you can buy the American ones for less than a dollar nowadays

 

I just farted.

 

NIceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

Back in the old days, if you bought a cadillac, they'd throw in a free yugo ($3300)...

 

This trend was actually started by the domestic guys. They've been pushing it hard with trucks for some time now....buy one loaded at MSRP...get a second truck for free

 

Gm did that quite some time ago with their s-10's/cavaliers.

 

Nissan had one that if you bought a certain truck at full price you would get their smallest car free.

 

Car companies have been doing this for years... has nothing to do with the economic collapse.

I know down here Ford, Dodge, Nissan, and Hyundai all have been running this promo once a year for at least 4 years now...


You don't really believe that you're getting it for a dollar (or that it's only worth a dollar)... do you? It's all worked into the numbers of the other car you're buying.

 

My daughter had one of those so-called POS accents. She was terrible on maintaining it but that thing kept going. It had almost 100,000 miles when she totaled it. (No injuries)

 

I've seen it before.

 

Local Lincoln dealer years back was advertising buying a Blackwood at msrp you would get a free Cougar

 

Is she hot?

 

seen this type of ads before...

 

Weren't Scion Xb's BOGO when they first came out?

 

my favorite one is "employee pricing"

 

I saw this in January (South FLA). Buy a 2008 Ram pickup at MSRP, and you got a PT Cruiser (new 2008 stock) for free.

Really, the numbers do work out. The incentive for the dealer is to get rid of a lot of on hand stock, as opposed to wholesaling them out to other dealers.

Now if Ferrari would do this..... Buy a California and get a free Maseratti Spyder, I'm in.

 

kia used to have buy one get one free deal since '05

 

idiot.

 

 

That's what I wanted to say the first time around...thanks.
