SANFORD, FL — A Florida car dealership is trying to drum up business
by offering an unusual perk for potential used-truck buyers: a free
AK-47 assault rifle.
General sales manager Nick Ginetta says that since the promotion was
announced on Veterans Day, business has more than doubled at Nations
Trucks in Sanford.
Customers would have to pass a background check before using the $US400 gun-shop voucher.
They also have the option of using the money towards other firearms, or they can request a check for that amount instead.
The dealership has fielded some complaints about the deal, which Ginetta acknowledges is controversial.
But he added, “My buyer is absolutely a gun owner, no question.”
The promotion is scheduled to run until the end of November.
