Friends: 0 | For some, it may be that trading in the vehicle is not a finacially viable option. If you were upside down on payments on something that has plummeting value, trading it in would only make the financial situation worse. |

Friends: 26 | oh you hear this crap on the radio all the time about some dealership paying off your vehicle if you buy from them. at least around here you do... i don't know what kind of details are involved there, but there are other options to burning your vehicle...  |

Friends: 0 | I think this is a good example of "sensationalism". That sort of thing is by no means confined to SUV's... |

Friends: 0 | Don't know if this is happening elsewhere in the country, but I just got back from filling up at $1.99 / gallon. There were 3 gas stations in the general area with this price. After Katrina, prices had spiked to a solid $3.50 in most of the state (with panic buying and gouging in the $5-$7 range on Wednesday after Katrina) |

I suspect the "inquiry" had something to do with it...  | |
