What if I get laid off?"<BR/><BR/>"Don't worry, honey. Hyundai will take back your car if you lose your job! Let's go. I want a sunroof"<BR/><BR/>Really, if I buy any other make of car and lose my job won't they take it back too? I think it's called repossesion, but pretty much the same deal. <BR/><BR/>I guess Hyundai probably won't slap your credit record around but that's bout it.arlopophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00092823159317982207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6354162813915609710.post-1898738383446869422009-01-09T10:23:00.000-08:002009-01-09T10:23:00.000-08:00That Hyundai promotion is genius marketing until y...That Hyundai promotion is genius marketing until you think about it. They give you trade-in value for the car and you have to pay the difference between that and the outstanding loan balance. How is it any different than just selling the car if you lose your job? In fact selling it at resale value rather than trade-in value is probably more lucrative. Again, marketing genius.rhonanonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16363020163841892160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6354162813915609710.post-45226358399502340312009-01-09T08:09:00.000-08:002009-01-09T08:09:00.000-08:00I have a three-year supply of Brita filters to bar...I have a three-year supply of Brita filters to barter. Though perhaps I will need those when the water pumping system breaks down and we're drinking whatever water washes off of our roof during storms.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of Hyundai? I love their new sales tactic whereby new-car buyers who lose their job within a year of purchase can return the vehicles. No doubt there are all kinds of strings attached, but you have to love the opportunism....Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16796160202412618248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6354162813915609710.post-32707726434444463662009-01-08T22:42:00.000-08:002009-01-08T22:42:00.000-08:00You got it made - you can trade applesauce and yog...You got it made - you can trade applesauce and yogurtarlopophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00092823159317982207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6354162813915609710.post-73914482491340405812009-01-08T16:50:00.000-08:002009-01-08T16:50:00.000-08:00How about compost?
