Buy a Truck, Get a Free AK-47!

Posted by Alex in Car & Vehicle, Weapons & War on July 19, 2009 at 2:07 am

Remember the dealership that gave away handguns if you buy their car last year? Well, they’ve upped their firepower: Max Motors in Butler, Missouri, is now giving away an AK-47 (technically, a voucher redeemable for one) when you buy a pick-up truck!

Mark Muller, owner of Max Motors, is upgrading an earlier sales gimmick in which he offered new truck buyers to choose between a $250 gas voucher or a gun voucher. The website says the dealer is giving away guns again "due to popular demand."

"Muller calls the initial deal an overwhelming success," Business Insider reports. "He also says it generates a lot of publicity and really angers ‘liberals.’"

Lost Your Job? Hyundai Will Buy Your Car Back!

Car dealers are desperate for business, and many are getting creative (like this free gun when you buy a car offer). Korean automobile maker Hyundai is trying a new approach. It’ll take your car back (most of the time) if you have a "life changing event," like getting fired from your job:

Hyundai has begun to promote a new program that claims that “if you cannot make your payment because of a life changing event, we’ll allow you to return your vehicle and walk away from your loan obligation – and in most cases, we will cover most, if not all of the difference”. This program is good up to one year, post purchase, and at least two payments must be made in order for it to become effective. But is it a good deal?
