Desperate car dealers today stunned experts by launching an extraordinary credit-crunch busting deal - buy one new car and get another completely free.

With car sales plummeting, dealers have been driven to offer a supermarket-style deal of two £20,000 saloons for the price of one in a bid to shift motors from their forecourts.

Industry experts at the AA described the offer as 'almost unbelievable' and admitted the car market was in crisis.

Buyers can now snap up hundreds of Dodge Avenger SXT 2.4i saloons equipped with leather seats and climate control as dealers sell them off at a loss.

The brand new cars - essentially being offered at half price - also come equipped with climate control, alloy wheels and sat-nav as standard.

Dodge dealers are offloading the cars in a groundbreaking move through price comparison websites such as 'Broadspeed.com'.

Because so many cash-strapped Brits have stopped buying new cars, Broadspeed.com is able to offer to sell the left over cars at a bargain basement price.

AA spokeswoman Vanessa Guyll said: 'In 23 years in the industry I have never seen anything like this - it's almost unbelievable.
'You expect this kind of thing with washing powders in supermarkets, not cars which are such a major purchase.

'Many within the industry will react with shock and horror at this.

'There is no doubt the problems in the car market are severe and this shows that dealers are now being forced to offer extraordinary deals.

'Dealers have a lot of stock they cannot shift and clearly they are now prepared to do so at a loss.

University Dodge in Miami has taken a page out of the Payless Shoes playbook and is offering Buy One Get One on all new Dodge Rams in stock. The dealership in Miami is offering the major incentive in an effort to clear out the existing stock on slow moving pickup trucks.

Buy one at full price, get the second for a buck.

It's a tried-and-true retailing promotion, but an Oak Lawn auto dealer is trying it at a time when dealerships are desperate to get customers into their showrooms.

Customers who pay the sticker price of a new Pacifica sport utility vehicle at Mancari's Chrysler-Jeep, 4630 W. 95th St. in Oak Lawn, will get a slightly used PT Cruiser for $1.

Whoah there. Don't think we are quite to the point of deflation. This is "just" the Auto industry imploding.

Gonna have to see this sort of stuff cross over to multiple unrelated industries before we start confirming the presence of deflation, thus getting fucked for a decade like the Japanese.
