Here's an interesting way to clear some unwanted inventory: offer a crazy-sounding deal on two new cars, like buy one car and get the second for just $1. That's the pitch at a suburban Chicago Chrysler dealership that promises a 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser demo car for just $1 if you happen to purchase one of their five remaining 2008 Chrysler Pacificas. That's practically a 2-for-1 deal and would give buyers two options for family hauling duty. The lame-duck Pacificas in stock range in price from $37,000 to $40,000 and can carry six passengers and their stuff in floaty luxury. The PT, on the other hand, offers a more frugal option for up to five passengers. Dealer Frank Mancari started the deal on Saturday at his Oak Lawn dealership to increase showroom traffic. Once all of the vehicles are sold, however, that's it. We bet more than one person will walk in and tell the dealer he can keep his PT Cruiser, they'll take the Pacifica with a $15,000 discount instead. Who are we kidding, Chrysler doesn't even want these cars anymore.

That is a different way of selling cars off a lot.

As far as the Pacifica goes... We took one for a road trip to Chicago from Houston (18 1/2hrs). Nice ride and pretty good gas mileage. My wife really wanted one after the trip but, decided to just wait on something else. Too bad it will be gone soon!

***The Mercedes version of this is WAY TOO expensive for basically the same vehicle.

That sounds like a good deal, but even cutting the $37,000 price in half to show what each vehicle costs, I still DO NOT WANT.

$18,500 for the pacifica
$18,500 for a PT cruiser

NO.

I would be interested in seeing this from others like Honda, Toyota or chevy. Not a big fan of the pt and even less of a fan of the pacifica specially for 37k:gonk:

But say maybe buy a brand new ridgeline and get a fit or a civic for a buck or something along those lines:eek3dance
