Funny how public sentiment is. They'd do this with cars and other consumer goods, but not stocks and real estate. They HATE stocks and real estate when they are being sold at a deep discount...Just wondering.......anyone out there considering buying a new car/truck just because the auto industry will da^^ near give them away?
Guess I should have read ahead.seems such logic would make more sense applied to real estate or stocks than to automobiles.

My Dad just bought a new car and got the best deal/treatment in his 86 year life.
It won't help the D3 though, he bought a Honda Accord...

I nominate your father for the 2008 optimist of the year award for buying a new car at age 86!
....And finally, I have a personality quirk in that I tend to like the things I already have...........
Oh...never heard it called "a personality quirk" before. Actually, I have the same "quirk", except not so much for cars. I want the new car AND the old one too, or sometimes a new old car.
He's SIRE'd, so why not, he will never run out of money. You and I will make sure he has a COLA'd pension and health care.I nominate your father for the 2008 optimist of the year award for buying a new car at age 86!
Not that you should or do feel bad about it, but this might amuse you. My father has bought a new PC every 5 years or so for the past 20+ years. Instead of moving all his apps/files to the new one, he just keeps the old PC (with whatever apps/files are on it) and uses the new one for anything new from then on. His "home office" is unbelievable, there are 2 monitors, 2 printers and 4 PC's. Of course every PC he's bought, he insisted on the prior Windows version, so he went to XP (from Win95) in the last year or two. He won't be on Vista for at least 5 years.And finally, I have a personality quirk in that I tend to like the things I already have, and to be upset initially if something new is different from what I had before. That causes me to want to put off major replacement purchases sometimes, even though I know that I will end up liking what I get, once I get used to it.

He also never turns on the radio in cars, thinks their an annoying distraction. If he had his way, he buy cars with no radio at all to this day and he has owned some pretty expensive cars. He used to bug dealers about why he couldn't get one without. Good thing it can't be done, imagine resale.
For the past 15 years we've only purchased "program cars" with low miles and great pricing. 90 days ago we actually purchased a new Pontiac G6 getting a really good price on the 2008 model with features just right and used up all our GM Master Card points on top of it. A "program car" couldn't touch the price we got on the new one. FYI...now 90 days later we couldn't me happier....a really nice car and glad we made the choice we did!
How do you find the program cars? I only ran across one, but it was by accident.
