Car Dealer Offers AK-47 With Purchase

By RICHARD S. CHANG

Last year, we wrote about Max Motors, the car dealership in Butler, Mo., that offered buyers the option of getting a $250 coupon for gas or a $250 coupon for a handgun (most chose the handgun). Now Max Motors is offering vouchers for AK-47s.

“Max Motors is giving away an AK-47 with every truck purchase!!!” says the promotion on the dealership’s Web site. In reality, it’s providing a voucher that can be used at an area gun store, According to Mark Muller, the owner of Max Motors, in an interview with CNN (via Slashdot), an AK-47 can cost $450 to $500.

Mr. Muller added that the dealership sold around 35 more cars last year with the handgun promotion. And he said he hoped to sell 100 trucks with the new promotion.
