In Oak Lawn, Illinois, a Chrysler dealer has come up with an innovative way to get vehicles moving in this unforgiving market: it is offering a buy one, get one for $1 deal.

If you thought you misread that sentence, you didn’t.

If consumers purchase a new Chrysler Pacifica for the sticker price, Mancari’s Chrysler Jeep owner Frank Mancari will throw in a PT Cruiser that is slightly used for only $1.  This offer is probably being aimed at families that have multiple teenagers, where owning a vehicle that is lightly used makes sense.

The PT Cruiser vehicles were former rentals that have about 10,000 miles on them.  Normally, these cars would retail for around $13,000.  The Pacifica costs $39,000 including new car warranties and gets 14/22-mpg city/highway.

Frank Mancari spoke to the Chicago Sun-Times and says that although he is losing money on this deal, at least he is sparking a lot of media attention.
