Just finished reading the paper today and the usual car ads were in there. You can buy a new 2007 Ford Ranger Ext cab for $10,995. Then you read the fine print which shows the price already includes $3500 cash down or trade. This burn my shorts. I guess if I want to come in and put down $7500then I will get the truck for $6,995. OOOHHH what a deal!

Just goes to show dealers love to toe the shady deception line. Just put the bottom line price on the car and be done with it. Let me decide what I will put down or trade in.

Then you've got all those discounts they include in the reduction price that you don't even qualify for: Mobility discount (handicapped), college student, active military, first time buyer, blah, blah. :notsure:

I find it funny when you see the ads that see "ONLY MAKE PAYMENTS OF $75!!!!" in the fine print it mentions that that is $75 a WEEK or $300 a month for some crappy car.

It's amazing in this day and age that dealers still try these scams. I mean with all the books and web advice no one should fall for these tricks.

Actually da Colonel being an old fart is just "urban legend".

I think he's a few years younger than us FM, that's why he acts like a kid most of the time. :CHEERS:

He does make some good :32: --------------------:fro:

Oh no, it's true.....I have met him in person and he is indeed old, and as the legend has it, he does in fact look like Colonel Sanders :32:

Nothing wrong with acting like a kid of course, that opinion coming however from someone who uses a Beavis avatar...
