Just for fun sometime clip one of those car adds in the paper with a vehicle stock number on it, you know the add with the incredible price?

Then go to the lot and ask to see that exact stock number, make them go and try and find it on the lot, thats when the fun begins.

Dont forget about the free backpack fiasco.

I hate that crappy MobileEdge backpack and I no longer use it. I wish they gave the Targus one.

Well its free, but they didnt have to be so misleading...

Well it's not really false advertising. Last month the special financing promotion was for 6 months. This month it is for 12 months.

You know if you can do cash it would be to your benefit, my order arrived quickly when I used cash.

Also, don't forget to read the fine print on the AW finance agreement, if you don't get that balance payed off in six months, then you face back intrest charges at 21%. I don't think I need to say this but 21% is highway robbery.

then when they find it tell them ur not interested anymore! See there expression then!!

...Unfortunately, this is in none of a benefit to you. You see, you are wasting your time driving to the place, and then waiting for them to search for the car. What sucks even worse is that they are getting some sort of pay for just looking around. Unless they just get commision, which is very likely in most cases, am i just rambing and contradicting myself over and over agai---hey look a bear!!!
