Default Re: test driving ethical question

The dealers are betting that you'll love the car soooo much that you'll want one. They know that most of the freebies will be "wasted", but it doesn't have to work very often for them to make money. I see no ethical qualms here. It's the cost of doing business and they wouldn't be doing it if it wasn't profitable. (Same with time shares . . .and loss leaders at grocery stores)
