My girlfriend got this promo from PORT CHARLOTTE HONDA.

She thinks she has won $5000.

Is this just a come-on ????

I smell a rat !!!!.

IF.....she won this, she will be in New Jersey on the claim dates. Which would mean, she would have to fly back down to claim her prize.

What does everyone think ????

I am going to guess this is $5k in cash towards the purchase of a vehicle.
Any fine print to explain?

I "tried to read the fine print"......it is alittle confusing (naturally). It doesn't say anything about being a credit towards a vehicle purchase ( which is exactly what I thought).

They had a similar winning contest a couple years ago. I googled and found out it was a stunt.. That everyone's ticket seemed like the big winner. Each person thought they had "the one" ticket with the lucky numbers. Ends up all the tickets had those numbers.

I could only imagine the excited people walking into the the dealership to claim their prize, and the looks on their faces when they found out that it wasn't what it seemed. I bet there were some very upset people walking out of that dealership.

Here is how I feel about this......
IF it is real......I will lease my next car from Port Charlotte Honda
IF it is a sham......I would NEVER buy /lease a vehicle from that dealership. SHAME ON THEM !!!
