BangShift Question Of The Day: What’s The Strangest Dealership Promotion You’ve Ever Seen?


BangShift Question Of The Day: What’s The Strangest Dealership Promotion You’ve Ever Seen?

Ever since the first cars went up for sale, there had to be something to draw in the buyer that made them want to part with their hard-earned money. Early on, just the fact that it wasn’t a horse was sufficient, but then things changed…closed tops, more powerful engines, styling upgrades, and so on and so forth. But what is a dealership to do when that isn’t enough? Resort to gimmicks, that’s what. And there have been bad ones…live animals that are best seen on a nature documentary, buy-one-get-one free deals (recently seen involving buying a Ram 3500 HD and getting a Mitsubishi Mirage as a bonus), or the infamous “get a free gun!” deals that would make headlines and scare certain groups of the population into action.

But the offer of a free puppet if you bought a Ford Mustang II is a new one on us. “Look what Dad got with the new car, kids!” I can hear the screaming of frightened children from a generation away.

Can you top this one?
