So of course many of you seen the $2.99 a gallon for gas when purchasing a new car.
I saw recently in the paper a few new ones.
$0.99 a gallon
Free Cobalt with purchase of new Silverado or Tahoe, certain models apply.
Free 46mph scooter, street legal, with purchase of Nissan Titan.

I don't understand how they could possibly get out ahead giving away a free car with purchase of a truck. Must be counting on your money coming back in the form of repairs/services/loans.

From what I've heard, car lots are no longer accepting trucks or SUVs for trade in.
I also heard about someone who bought a new SUV and a couple of months later they tried to use it for a trade in. They were offered $4000 for a new SUV that was bought for $36k a couple of months prior.

you would be best to have full coverage, which if you have a loan you prolly do then go out and roll the car or wreck it so its totaled cut your losses and take the ins money then go out and buy a car

It isn't that easy, let alone injuries, and possibly points on license, or insurance going up.

I've heard of several issues where trucks/SUVs are being "stolen" and torched for the sole purpose of collecting on the insurance.
