2 for the price of 1 Really?

I seen an ad in the Sunday paper that really required you to read the fine print. BUY TWO MALIBUS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE. Wow how can they do that? Even I know they don't have that much mark up in their cars, Do they? Well the fine print told the answer. The two you were buying were not new vehicles they were used sort of high mileage for a current or one year old car. These were probably rental cars that had already had their limit of miles on them which made them canidates to be elimated from the rental company's fleet.
I mentioned this to my son in law who works as a parts manager at a new car dealer and he said that the dealer he works for tried the same deal and had no takers. I pondered for a moment wondering why that would bring such a dismal sale.
I think either 1. It's unbelievable so no response (if they didn't read the fine print).
2. Nobody has use for buying, financing, and driving two additional cars at once. One usually replace only one vehicle at a time unless you have a teenager that is just coming into the driving sceen.
I wonder what they will try next?

Almost False Advertising

Last night I received a flyer in the evening paper from a car dealer that is typical of what rubs me raw. You buy a new vehicle from them and they will pay $2000 on your credit card account to help you from the burden of Christmas. The catch is that the payment is posted on the windshield for your convience.
We all know that there is no such thing as a free meal but there will be lots of people go there to see if just this one time maybe it will be different. Will It?
NO!
The "*" is a dreded symbol. Always read the fine print. They contradict all that they said in the ad except for the one instance. The Second full moon must be out for that month, you must stand on your hands and bay at an albino wolf on a hilltop directly to the north from you and it must have had it's right front paw caught in a hunters trap and documented vet care given by a one eyed left handed monk with an blue robe covering 3/4ths of her body.
