Buy a CompuStar, Get $500 Gas Card, What's the Catch?

[woovic]

I saw in a Chinese magazine that JDMAuto up in Edmonton are giving away free gas cards with some car starters. They are selling CompuStar 2-way starters and giving away $500 in gas. Has anyone else seen this? What's the catch?

[4lti7ude]

Thats alot of gas hahahah.

[Dj_Stylz]

$500 yen?:nut:

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

Maybe it's a draw for $500, not every buyer? Or maybe it's special JDM race gas, that only works on RHD cars? :D

[5G_celica]

maybe it's for a gas station out in b** f*** nowhere

[nismodrifter]

The gas is probably fake. Cardboard mulch + water = AZN 94 octane.

Because if there IS a catch, they won't tell you what it is.

they probably charge for ever little feature and that 500 dollar alarm/starter becomes a 1000+ dollars out the door.

[The Cosworth]

probably because they can write off the gas cards and save money on the 'promotion' and they probably got a bulk deal pay $350.00 for $500.00. So it saves on costs and they can push old stock out without having to discount it.

and what was said above me, about the fact that I am sure it is only available on a fully loaded alarm.

[realazy]

It seems highly likely that is only available on a "full" alarm. Some installers will charge extra for power locks, manual transmission, optional temperature sensor, special programming like cold start, turbo timer, etc. If each "option" costs $50, it'll add up very quickly.

In the end, no one will start a business to lose money.

sounds too good to be true, id call em.

[Budlac]

I bet they steal your car for that 500 bucks

The Compustar is probably $499 but in order to get the gas card you need to have it installed by them at an inflated price.

It's Chinese people...they got some discounted no-name graded gas for cheap. Plus the transaction must be CASH-only deal probably! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[scat19]

They have a total of $500,000, which equates to 1000 gas cards.

And whats "Shpplies"? lol. such a bad ad.
