Default Re: Mobil1 Oil for $4.99/quart

Isn't it sad when right in front of your eyes a guy decides ....thinking is just too difficult.

I went to Advance (29.99 5 quart + a Mobil 1 filter) & tell the manager....(I did this last year also)....I want 3 of those deals & I want to then return the filters for credit because Mobil 1 doesn't make a filter for my car. He says oh that's shady & I don't want to jeopardize my position with the company. Now keep in mind, in the past they did not refund the "shelf price" of a Mobil 1 filter...it was more like 7-8 bucks. That was a good deal. So if he did what I asked....I'd get (per deal) 5 quarts for about $23.

He then says, well you could just get some other filter & keep it & he would throw in a $10 customer coupon....so I would only have to pay $19.99 + tax. I guess he offered this $10 coupon cause he thought I would be getting a filter I could never use???? I then showed him the Purolator L25277 filter kit & said how about I get this one with each deal....he said sure......I'm thinking ...this is so sad!

So each deal with tax included was $21.50 = 5 quarts + what really is the Mann filter kit that the dealerships want 30-35 $ for.....

I'm still laughing my *** off.....
