The terrific deals you see advertised in the run-up to Black Friday usually have some conditions attached. They might apply only to specific trims, engines, or just the vehicles they have on their lot. Sometimes the deals are only for select groups – auto company employees or veterans perhaps – or related to specific financing terms like a minimum credit score.
The same applies to perks dealers advertise. They might be offering a “free” iPad or TV with every truck, but make sure you know the qualifying criteria. You don’t want to be demanding an advertised deal or “freebie” only to be told you’re not eligible. That can lead to an uncomfortably red face, so read the ads carefully and always read the “fine print.”
