ParticipantChrysler doubles cash-for-clunkers/Free AK-47 with new car
…Unfortunately for gun lovers, neither Chrysler nor the Federal Government is handing out assault rifles to stimulate car sales. But Mark Muller, owner of Max Motors in Butler, Missouri thinks it’s a great idea.
“We’re just not going to give people an AK-47 gun. Felons buy cars, too,” he said. “What we are going to do is we’re going to give them a voucher where they can go to their local gun dealer, or we have local gun dealers we would strongly recommend where they can buy a gun and go through the proper background checks so the guns wind up in the right hands.”
As for the safety of Max Motors:
“That way it separates you from anything bad that could happen,” Muller said. “We’ll put it in the hands of professionals who do this every day.”
Buffering the financial security of the deal, this isn’t the first time Muller gave away gun vouchers in an attempt to sell more cars, and it’s not the first time it worked.
“Last year we gave away a free handgun with the purchase of any vehicle, and it went over very well. It spiked our web traffic and we sold, we estimate, 35 extra cars during the promotion than we normally would have, and this year we’re trying to sell an extra 100 cars more than we normally would,” Muller said.
The gun vouchers are set to be given away during the month of August. I haven’t looked into the actual possibilities yet, but Max Motors sells new Chryslers, Dodges and Jeeps…nine grand off a new Chrysler and a free AK-47 would be one hell of a deal.

GuestJust an indirect giveaway to the dealers and car companies. And another way to get Americans into debt.
Try negotiating a cash deal on a car and once the price is agree upon, tell them what you want to turn in your old clunker and get $4,500 + $4,500 ($9,000) off the price of the purchase.
They won’t sell the car to you. They’ll come up with some lame excuse that, unfortunately, that one unique car has been sold by the manager already (or some excuse like that).

No worries. I bet if you posted a poll here, you’ll find out far fewer people can take advantage of the $4500 tax credit than others.[/quote]
I was curious about this too. Does anyone actually have a car that qualifies for the “cash for clunkers” program?I have a real beater out on the street right now, but it gets (supposedly) a combined 21mpg. Over the 18mpg limit. Plus the car has to be no older than 25 years. The LA Times ran a story that said most of the cars that qualify, get better trade-in value than the voucher will give. Anyone even know someone who is taking advantage of this deal?
