I got one of those *you have won one of the above prizes* things from a local car dealer. One of them is a 2008 Chevy Malibu, then $7k in cash, then a vacation getaway (that's probably a scam) or $25 in cash. I just want the $25 in cash. It says, ''no purchase necessary.'' It's worth $25 in gas money for me to listen to some guy try to sell me a Chevy. I'll just keep pointing to ''no purchase necessary.'' 'cause I AIN'T buyin' one. The only thing I can say is, ''I had a Chevrolet once - it made it ALL THE WAY TO $85,000 miles!'' LOL. No, I won't say that unless they press the issue.
One of the choices was a 3 day, 2 night vacation and of course we got that one. we can go to gatlinburg. we have to pay the taxes on the room but the room is free. so i guess that is ok. it's not a timeshare visit or anything. a room for $15 a night is a pretty good deal i guess.
i really wanted the $25 though, lol.
I have a 2004 Chevy Malibu and I've loved it! It has 54K miles on it. I bought it in 2005 when it was a year old. It has been virtually trouble free; have done nothing except change the oil. It has lots of 'extra's like heated leather seats, power front seats, etc. Plus it has a big trunk for my grocery trips. I was skeptical when we got it because I was figuring it would be a piece of American made kerap, lol. But it's been terrific! Just as good as the Japenese cars I've owned (Toyota, Mazda).
I'm in the market for another one, that or an Impala, since my daughter will start driving next month (hopefully), and she is going to inherit the 2004 Malibu.
So yeah I'd definitely listen to the dealer's spiel! But then, I'm in the market for a car too. Generally I avoid car dealers like the plague so if I wasn't actually car shopping, I doubt I would go.
Then again, $25 is half a tank of gas these days. Go for it if you want.
