[gobz]

Shweet, im gonna finish this six pack and head on down

[Vinny]

Drive a Ford... and have to go to BestBuy for my reward?

I know two negatives normally make a positive but I'm pretty sure that rule doesn't apply here.

[mephitical]

Shweet, im gonna finish this six pack and head on down
Just finish it on the way there, silly!

How long before people figure out which dealer codes to put in and just fill them out themselves? I think Zubi and ePrize just forced themselves into a lot of unplanned verification.

[prateeko]

Hell, I'll drive a ford for $50

[c]

I am hesitant. I mean, like, couldn't this be some elaborate "LOL WE HAVE UR ADDRESS NOW; HERE IS JUNK MAIL" scheme?

[yzass69]

Hell, I'll drive a ford for $50

The best part is that usually you don't even have to. Most salesmen will just ask if you are seriously considering buying one. If you say no, they typically just fill out the needed info and save thier time.

[UltimoRey]

I have to get my car serviced at KIA, guess i could walk over to FORD. ;)

[Limet]

is there a requirement to test drive cars ?
Im 17 and got my license early last september....

Think they will let me drive one ?
If not "AWW!"

if so "YES!"

[sasukekun]

Interesting, will check it out.

[sp00ge]

Bah, I got screwed by Kia a few years back over the free LOTR:FOTR DVD with test drive. They claimed they were out of vouchers and would mail it to me. Never showed up.

Moving this over to teh freebie forum, BTW.

[JolietJake]

$50 isn't enough or me to drive a ford.

Besides having a valid license, you must also be a legal adult (18, or 19 in a couple states). If you can convince them your parents are rich or something tho, they might do it anyway.

[GrilledWitOnions]

Very nice OP! Gotta get some ink so I can print out the form.

[Squarehard]

i got nothing to do tomorrow, so looks like its time to do some test driving

[4tygames]

You mean that I have to actually drive one of those junkyard-ready new Focuses?

Hopefully I can get away with a salesman signing it. I don't want to be seen in that thing!

*waits*

I wonder if the dealership has to be in the same state as the Best Buy? ;)

[chakan]

Thanks Op

[paintball745]

looks like im going to go "car shopping" tommorow.

I got screwed by ford before, they said if you came in and talked to their salesman you could win some prizes. So my family went down, did it and they told us we won a WM GC between $5 and $5,000 dollars. Then the salesmen went back to get it but they were out of them, so they said they would mail it to us. Guess what, it never came.

i guess the good thing about this is that the dealership themselves arent going to be responsible for it directly, and it will be going through eprize instead, which is alot easier to scream and yell at if i dont get my gc, so i guess its a little bit better.

[hero101]

I actually might try this on the weekend. My driving skills are rusty. Haven't touch a car in like a year.

[quercus]

Years ago I was in Quality Paperback Book Club and they had a deal to get $50 credit if you test drove a Chrysler. I went down to the dealership. I showed him the voucher, he just filled it out and handed it back to me. I didn't have to drive anything.

I got some really good books out of that deal.

[Squarehard]

Did anyone get a coupon # when they filled the form out? cause they said they didnt have a coupon #.

[iowaholdem]

Cool, I might need to check this out.

[SizzorB]

I'll see if my parents will go test drive one for me since I'm too young to test drive a car.

[omgu8myrice]

how long would we expect for the gift card to come?

[iowaholdem]

Cool, I asked my dad if he was interested in test driving a Ford to earn me a $50 BB GC and he said he might be on board for it. He's looking in to getting a new SUV - though he's not at all interested in Ford. I'm certainly old enough to test drive a car myself, but I can't believe any car salesman would be dense enough to think I was there for anything more than the GC.

[c]

So, has anyone tried doing this.

[brooklyn1511]

def gonna have to check this one out, i'm sure it'll take forever to get the gift card tho

[chakan]

So, has anyone tried doing this.Yes. Took about an hour, high pressure sales and all that. I had prearranged a friend to call me in one hour with a BS reason to get me out of there.

Got the form filled out, mailed it. Just have to wait a few months and see if anything comes of it. By the way, the Feces feels like it has about 3.5 horsepower.

[strummerbs]

Did it today. Ridiculously easy, no pressure at all. As with anything car dealership related, the annoyance level will depend on who you get. I would recommend not pulling out the form until you get back from the test drive, and make it completely clear up front that you have no interest in buying today.

Yes, it is key to let them know and make sure they understand that you are "car shopping" and want to test all of your potential choices before making a purchase. If they aren't aware, that's when the put the pressure on you and things get awkward.

[yousuredo]

I wonder if a new mustang qualifies ?
get to do burn outs and a GC Sweet...

[Pure Apathy]

I was wondering the same thing.


My friend and I went in to the Ford dealership yesterday and we showed the salesman the slip up front and told him we were only doing it for the gift card. He said we didn't have to test drive a car if we didn't want to. My friend ended up test driving a Mustang (not a vehicle with sync) and then the salesman filled our slips out and we left. He was very cool and it took us about 20-30 minutes to do everything.

[Kerig]

Why even bother pretending? The offer is "test drive a ford, get a $50 GC". There's nothing about that inferring you have to have the least bit of interest in any car buying.

I would think just saying "I want the free GC, want me to test drive for it?" should do the trick. I remember doing that exact thing many years ago. I didn't set foot in a car and walked away with the promise of a gift card in the mail (I think I still have the gift card in an album somewhere). I received it not too long afterward, but long enough to almost forget about it.

To the poster who was hassled for an hour: I suggest never trying to buy a car on your own at a dealership...ever.

[chakan]

To the poster who was hassled for an hour: I suggest never trying to buy a car on your own at a dealership...ever.That may be true, but the only reason I stayed so long was that they hadn't signed my slip yet. When I made it clear I wasn't buying, they signed and let me go. It also took a half hour to get the test-drive done.

[yukine]

Interesting, I think I might do this.

[Old_School]

$50 to rag a Shelby out, what a deal.

I wanted a new Cobra soooo bad until it became the new Knight Rider vehicle. Abandon Steve McQueen for Hassellhoff (hoping this is incorrect spelling so all Hassellhoff fans on the board will be outed).

[alongx]

FYI to everyone who thinks this is applicable to every make/model: the slip clearly says TEST DRIVE A 2008 FORD FOCUS. If the salesperson is a dick, it's unlikely you'd get it for taking a Mustang or Escape out for a test.

I'm not sure if I want to deal with the headache of a dealership for a BB GC.

"Test drive the new 2008 Ford Focus (or any other Ford vehicle with SYNC) and receive a $50 Best Buy® gift certificate."

It doesn't neccesarily have to be a Focus, but it is supposed to have the new SYNC feature.

[Don Chubo]

I did the Chrysler one a couple of years ago - just showed salesman the slip and told him I just wanted the gift card. He shrugged and signed, now to see if the Ford guy is just as non-caring!

[NJC]

Just so everyone knows.....

I think your supposed to go here:

FYII did it this way and have a coupon code down at the bottom now. I haven't gone to the Ford dealership yet, though I'll try to find some time this week. Thanks OP and NJC for the heads up.

[naiku]

Went to the dealer today, had 2 forms filled out. Thanks op.

[iowaholdem]

Went to the dealer today, had 2 forms filled out. Thanks op.Did you have to actually do a test drive?

EDIT: To anyone that's done these sorts of things in the past, about how long does it take for the GC to arrive in the mail?

[GrilledWitOnions]

he is right sign up go to the last page there is a box that says "TEST DRive" with a red car in underneath with a link. Thanks for the heads up was wondering about the coupon code.I can't get this to work at all for some reason. Never ever see this red car with test drive. Turned off adblock, tried reregistering a couple email addresses... hmm.

[NJC]

:D

[L1LNasty]

i dont see test drive! ahhh can i just use the OP's thing?

[scarab007]

i dont see test drive! ahhh can i just use the OP's thing?

NADA for me too, maybe they hit the limit of codes?

[dracula]

i dont understand all of the hate on ford. None of you like mustang?

i wont bother with the test drive, with my luck i would wreck it.

[L1LNasty]

ima try no matter what im gonna print ops and get it all filled out and mail it out by my bday march 15 like it says!

[sp00ge]

NADA for me too, maybe they hit the limit of codes?
After you fill out the form, on the next page there is a Trivia Link and a Match and Win link. I clicked on the Match & Win link and the Test Drive link came up on the next page. Click on that and the pre-filled form came up, complete with coupon code.

I just did this 2 minutes ago.

I'm not into fords, although I fell in LOVE with the Lincoln LS V8 from a few years back. I still regret not buying it. Supposedly the new mustang is based on the same platform, so there is hope.

[dracula]

i drive a 1993 mercury tracer. i should get a sandwich and a blowjob, not necessarily in that order.

http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r7/d3vkit/no_test_drive_link.png
And then when I play match and win, just the game, and then just continues to main page. Am I still missing something?

That's odd. Maybe it's not available in your state/market?

[L1LNasty]

^^^ same exact thing 4 me

[CaoPi]

So is it that easy? I don't know about the whole upsaling thing epsecially when it comes to car sales, what was the highest offer if ever, to test drive a car? I still drive a 91 accord hopefully they'll understand.

[DarkNessBear]

I went in for the free Best Buy $50...

...I left with a new Ford.

DAMNIT!

[opportunity777]

I never really liked the Mustang, except, the one from Gone in 60 Seconds (Nicholas Cage version).

I'm more into the European & Japanese thing. The Corvette is a sweet ride though.

I'm too lazy to go and get this GC. So, does anyone have any ideas on what to spend it on?

[chakan]

[GrilledWitOnions]

This is the hardest $50 gcard I've ever had the misfortune of trying to acquire. I thought I was completely out of ink, so I was trying to think of another way to get this printed out, when I decided to actually check my ink levels... and there's a ton of black left. But it seems my printer won't print if other colors are out. Well played, Epson...
I was actually able to print a couple pages but the website sent it to the printer wrong from within Firefox, so they didn't come out right... arg!

[omgu8myrice]

i dont hate ford, and i like the mustang a lot. its just that compared to other companies, ford's cars have been absolute shit. and their financial losses as of late represents that.

[sp00ge]

I used to work as a tech at a Ford Dealership. You wouldn't believe the repair rate on some of them. The focus alone, I had 4-5 a day to work on, and I'm not talking maintenance work.

[UltimoRey]

I don't see the page anymore, is this still valid? Im getting my car serviced tomarrow and wanna try it if it is.

[eau]

Looks like the test drive page is dead. You can still register for the sweepstake but the test drive coupon page won't load.

[cheaperthanever]

does any body have a copy of a *clean coupon sheet?

thanks.

i print my out a couple weeks ago but i lost it.

pm please

[Methadon]

Anybody know how long it's supposed to take?

[thorbahn3]

My father went and test drove one for me (he likes cars). So now it's the waiting game.

[Deus_Ex_Nox]

Yup. I sent mine off some time ago. Free stuff always seems to take the longest.

[chernobog]

I sent my stuff off on January 26th and still haven't received my $50 GC. So be prepared to wait, I guess...:cry:

[omgu8myrice]

ugh

[finsfan0210]

anyone get their fucking giftcard yet?

[Crazyglitcher]

Anyone have the paper you need to get the giftcard? The site took it down.

[chakan]

anyone get their fucking giftcard yet?Got it in the mail today! Thanks OP!

[Gumby the Green]

is the offer still valid? or is it a dead offer now, cause like an idiot i just stumbled upon this little gold mine. i actually just started getting into free offers and things. still very weary and all

[chakan]

I believe its dead.

[Foladar]

Locking this since its dead. Thanks again OP.
