Are the ads i hear for 1,000 dollars for any car trade in, etc. true?

Question

im looking to get a new car because mine is junk and does not run well and breaks down a lot. I hear ads for money towards a car for any trade in, is this a scam? do they hike up the price of the car?

Answer 1

Most of those ads are true because selling cars have been slow so you should be able to get a good deal, Best times to car shop the end of the month or a rainy day.

Answer 2

You nailed it. They have the price of the one they are selling jacked up to cover the overallowance for the $1,000. trade-in that might be worth only a dollar.
