We can deal if someone else pays the way
As one of the few that has never purchased an automobile (ever), I remain bemused by the variety of marketing campaigns and strategies used to lure the helpless consumer. There’s been a subtle variation added to the palette recently, and I’m wondering if this one is going to be “the best one ever”. In short, the average buyer is at risk of losing her job in this foundering economy. The response of the industry is to offer to “cover your debt” for a certain amount of time. Just like the Big Three has asked the government to do for them. Talk about spreading the new riches around.
