At first glance, I thought that link was to WTF TV...

I've heard of Hyundai and Kia dealers doing that up here......but don't think I've ever heard a Big 3 dealer do the same thing......

Makes sense. Dealerships are already discounting trucks $10-15,000. Unless you really need two cars, it's probably not worth it.

TheGeneral · 07-23-2008, 03:19 PM

Thats a great deal if you actually need a truck. Cobalt isn't the best car in the segment but I would give it a rating of B at least.

Pontiacwheels · 07-23-2008, 03:32 PM

Wow, what a deal. What more can you say?

Get your HD weekend toy-tower and you get a nice daily driver at the same time......suppose it wouldn't be so bad if you drove the Cobalt 90% of the time.....

When I was kid, I remember Nissan selling pickups and Sentras for one cheap price, and Ford doing the same thing with Rangers and Escorts. (Seattle area)

Someone else did this a few years back, I think it was Ford when they had the Lincoln Blackwood.

A Ford dealership did the same thing a year or so ago. Buy an F-series and get a Ford Focus free.

You are probably better off taking the $15,000 instead and putting it in the bank.

I guess it would be great if you really need a Tahoe...

A local Ford dealership did that just recently; in fact I think they may still be doing it. But I think the catch is that you only get a free lease; the car isn't yours free and clear.

Did that lady buy FOUR cars? Is that what they said?
