Push, Pull or Drag Your Trade In...

It happens every sale! The advertisement reads $4000 guaranteed for your trade, in any condition. This is a ploy to get you to the dealership and does not mean they are literally going to give you $4000 for your trade. If you have shaky credit and the bank is requiring money down, this fake $4000 will not cut it.

Yes, on paper it will show that you're getting $4000, but all they're doing is using the over inflated prices from the vehicle they're trying to sell you to cover the difference in the $4000 and the real worth of the vehicle, let's say $500.

Think I'm kidding? If so, go on down to the dealership running this promotion, bring a $500 car and ask the dealer to buy it out right for $4000. Guaranteed they won't do it.

Anyway, I just wanted to throw this out there so you know just one of the many advertising ploys car dealers use. I'm sure you'll being hearing from me again today, it looks like things are starting to pick up.

In the mean time...

Take care and beware,
