What airline are you flying from PG to AC?
It is Republic Airlines. I think it is a charter from Ceasars Entertainment.

I wish an airline would fly from PG to AC on a regular basis or even into Philadelphia.

Well, how's this for marketing??? Because PORT CHARLOTTE HONDA stooped to this BS scam, I will not even consider shopping there when we lease/buy a new car next spring.

I don't get mad......I just get even.....LOL

My girfriends daughter told us a story about a guy that worked with her. He had gotten one of those "keys" that if it starts the car you win the car.
He went to the dealership, put the key in the ignition and it started.......No he didn't win the car. That just put him into drawing after drawing, until he finally just gave up.
I don't know how dealerships think this type of BS is good for business!!

I was a salesman at a Ford dealership in new jersey in '99. I lasted about 6 months. I just couldn't deal with all the shananigans that they pull with customers. Every promo was a sham and we would put customers in new cars that we knew they could not afford. I would never do it again !!!

I was well aware this was another sham ( not really a scam), just had to prove it to my girlfriend.
thanks for everyones input.
Ted

Car dealers and most of their sales people are the absolute scum of the earth. They will lie,cheat you and take any other action to sell you a car. I have no idea how they do what they do and sleep at night.

Any ad from a car dealer is total BS. Put it in the trash.

I think it's like those letters I kept getting from the local Toyota place in GA saying there was a huge shortage in used cars (???) and they wanted to buy mine back, or give me a great price for my trade-in. Those went straight to recycling.

Seems to me you'll be looking far and wide to find a dealer that does NOT engage in such "marketing" practices. Good luck with that.
