Dealership Making Deals By Giving Away Car With SUV Purchase

NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. —

Gas prices have hurt SUV and truck sales so much that one car dealer says, if you buy a gas guzzler from him, he'll give you a more fuel efficient car for free.

New Smyrna Beach Chevrolet (see map) is offering the two-for-one deal to anyone who buys a full-size SUV or truck. The general manager said large vehicles have been all but ignored over the past year, because everyone is looking for smaller, fuel efficient cars.

"You know how they say, desperate measures, desperate times. Something like that? That's where I'm at right now and we've got to make deals. This is just one of my deals," said general manager Jack Holcomb.

The dealership said it has cut its inventory in half and still has about three dozen trucks to get rid of. The manager said he won't make much of a profit, but at least he'll get rid of some trucks.
