Whoa! Rebates!

Ok, so I'm watching TV and I see a GM truck commercial come on. I nearly fell off the couch when I see that between rebates, loyalty cash, etc. they are offering $5000 off of 05! Yes 05! Is this GM's last push towards a sales title? I sure hope Ford follows suit. Mr. Ford have you seen these commecials!?

Question

I haven't seen these adds in california yet. But I sure hope Ford follows suit. Christmas is coming up fast and i sure would like a New F350 with a Rebate like that.

Unhappy

Here they been running an add if you buy Gm now you'll get the same interest on your next one when ever you buy it no mater what the new rate of interest is.
So if you get 1.9 now and buy again 5 years from now
you'll get 1.9 than also.

GM has to stoop to those types of rebates.... cause well they are selling GM's.
I had one once and it was not a pleasant experience.
I could count on it breaking down on every vacation.....
Not going to happen again. No issues since I dumped the Suburban and got my Excursion in 01.

Just another sales gimmick. Look at the details, not quite the "deal" it seems to be.
