Oh for the love of Pete...they'll try anything.

Then again...there are plenty out there stupid enough to go for a deal simply out of being excited about the prospect of getting a new vehicle...take my sister in law for example. She's been wanting a full size SUV for a while and decided to start looking (with her husband, who I like, but isn't very savvy when it comes to haggling). Here's the deal she signed papers on yesterday:

Trade in: 2004 Jeep Liberty 3.7L with 100k+ miles.
Purchased: 2008 Chevy Tahoe LT 4.8L V8 with 67k miles

They told her that her Jeep was worth $6k on trade but they would give her $9k (first red flag) so that she could clear her note and not have to roll anything onto the new truck. So what did they get her to pay for a decently optioned, high mileage, small V8 Tahoe?

$25,500!!!!
