Time 2 buy.

Ok, so most car companies are in some deep doo-doo. Especially if you're General Motors, Chrysler or Ford. That's why they're offering pretty freakin' good deals. Just check out Ford, GM and Chrysler.com. When you check out Chrysler don't forget to look at Dodge because they'll be having the same deals going on, being as they're both under the same umbrella.

So what are we to make of these really good deals that all the American car companies are offering? It's time to go to your local dealership and rob the place.

Now by "rob the place" I mean go into the dealership knowing that they need your business and that they are desperate. Just recently I stopped by a local GM dealership and was told by one of the salesmen that their used car division sold 66 cars last month. That number didn't sound that impressive until he told me that new cars only sold 32 cars last month. Please, insert the grain of salt that goes with any information from a car salesman. As a young man myself, I probably wouldn't be given the time of day were I to walk into a dealership during, let's say, better times. My two day old beard growth and Quicksilver sandals would be an immediate turnoff to any self respecting, greasy horse trader. In this day, however, I get treated like the balded, retiree that talks like he worked with a lot of pastrami in his younger days.

Listen to me responsible little children with steady jobs and half a brain. If you've ever had a hankerin' for a new car, go get one. Go get one. Go get one! If you also happen to have something to trade, then what are you waiting for? It is not beyond the realm of possibility to double the value of your thousand dollar gift from aunt Mona just by going in and trading it.

Don't get too zealous. If you make less then $20 a week you might want to get out of grade school before you go and purchase that Corvette ZR1. As a college student myself, chomping at the bit to enter the dreary world of full-time employment, who has a trade, a $25,000 to $30,000 brand new car is not out of the realm of possibility. Obviously payments are inevitable, but they're really, really cheap ones.

Think about it. Talk to someone more educated than myself. I'm just sorta thinking out loud here. It's not dreaming though. Problems for big companies equal big discounts for the rest of us. Go for it. Review your finances and get something good...if you can.
