No crazy down payment

October 30th, 2012 at 12:55 pm

I've mentioned before that we don't have TV.

I'm at a conference, and am at a hotel. I had the TV on as I was getting ready this morning. There was a cheesy local car dealer commercial on.

Let's preface this by saying that over the past couple of years my thinking has been conditioned more by the SA site than by local car dealer commercials.

I heard the guy say something about no "crazy down payments". Then he said, "just $39!". So, either this guy sells $200 cars, or 20% is a crazy down payment. Sometimes I'm glad we don't have TV. Oh, and the political ads!

    The political ads here in Iowa are constant. I don't think I've seen a car dealership commercial in months!!

    Yeah, really! There are a couple of used car dealers who advertise on TV here who make money selling, repossessing and, reselling the same car over and over. I presume there are car sales like that advertising on TV most everywhere. I think they gear their commercials to the desperate and the dumb. Frown

    Whenever I'm somewhere with a tv now (after pretty much not having watched "normal" tv for 7?? years or so) I can't take very much in the way of commercials of any kind.
