Dealers Just Can’t Catch A Break

By Equity Private

cuomo.jpgNew York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo is shocked, shocked to discover that misleading advertising is going on in here.
Sell too few cars? Get dropped. Sell too many? Get dropped. Turn around and start issuing misleading advertising

New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo today told 40 auto dealers across the state to stop issuing misleading advertisements for the Federal Car Allowance Rebate System, known as “cash for clunkers.”
The government-funded clunkers program, which seeks to boost the economy, allows dealers to credit $3,500 or $4,500 for trade-ins that may be worth less. Dealers’ ads mislead consumers into believing that their trade-in vehicle qualifies for the program when it does not or that they are eligible for a several-thousand-dollar rebate, Cuomo said in a statement today.

Next thing you know they will want to eliminate introductory or teaser rate financing!

    CG strikes me more as a Zubaz (probably accompanied by a sleeveless sweatshirt) type of guy: http://www.zubaz.com/

    @6 Excellent point. He also strikes me as the type of person that would show up to a black tie affair wearing a bolo.

    In the earth-shattering event that someone invites CG to a black tie event, I agree.

    I was about to tee up a rant regarding the pathetic attempt at humor that this post represents (similar to my rip on the Paulson Goldman piece from earlier today). Then I lost my mojo. This is so weak I can’t even stay hard long enough to fuck it. Congratulations EP, I think I’ve lost my inspiration.
    Decrying this nonsense isn’t even entertaining me anymore. Picking apart these posts is about on par with killing lightning bugs at night with a tennis racket: it’s amusing at first, but then the novelty wears away and at the end of the night you haven’t achieved anything other than ruining your little sister’s tennis racket and getting glow in the dark shit on everything. But I digress (I’m from Ohio, okay?).
    Here’s hoping Spitzer unwittingly propositions a not-so-undercover tranny at some point before day’s end.

    Some especially tight pants. I had them tailored to enhance my infantile prick in the hopes of impressing a few of the fifty something women I work with, but in the end all I’ve achieved is a perpetual wedgie and an offer to meet the copier repairman for drinks. I’m such a tease.

    For working trucks the rule is not based on the fuel efficieny. As long as it is manufactured before 2001 they all qualify
    but cannot be older than 25 years old..
