First one that caught my eye was the Cadillac one... $299/month for a new caddy... Here's the kicker: "36th Month Payment, $17,3xxx"

Then i saw one for another GM... $249/month, 36th Month Payment $11,xxx.

Talk about scamming! I mentioned it during the game, and all the retarded people in the room were like, must be a typo. Typo during a superbowl commercial? My ass! Imagine getting to the end of your payment book and seeing that you owe 17 grand!?

Fine print ladies and gents! That's an all time low for American Automakers.

didn't see enough to know but it's probably a lease with the almighty "balloon" payment at the end if you actually want to keep it :shock:

mercedes benz has been doin this kind of financing for years... you finance 50% of a 60k car for 36-72 months. this way all people can buy a $60k car...

also

VW/audi has the same kind program called "premier purchase"

it is acctually a balloon payment purchase, kinda a cross between a lease and a standard finance, were you are leasing the vehicle for the 1st 36 months and after that you are given the chance to turn it in as a lease or finance the remaining balance with garanteed approval/payment.

the whole idea is to enable the lower 50% of the US population purchase a better car, for a payment they can afford... europe finances cars 80k and below for upto 10 years and 80k+ for up to 12...

so i think it is a good program.
