Easton, Maryland (CNN) -- New appliances and vacation packages aren't unusual giveaways in the housing slump, but one woman is taking the unorthodox step of throwing in a car with the purchase of her home.
Catherine Poe is throwing in a Toyota Prius hybrid with the sale of her renovated Maryland house.

"We're losing money on the house, and the Prius only adds to losing money,


Poe said she and her daughter bought this house for $335,000, spent $300,000 restoring it and were hoping for a $40,000 profit when they first put it on the market.
This looks like putting dumber money after dumb.
Watching "Flip That House" too many nights in a row will do that to you.

Maybe they'll throw in a couple of pairs of earth shoes and some tie-dyed sweatshirts too.
