There's a spectre haunting this labor day weekend: great deals on used automobiles!

The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of struggle to buy used Ford, Honda, Toyotas, and more at low low prices.

From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs...and everyone needs to pay less than 2% down at signing regardless of credit history!

You have nothing to lose but great savings on all our used mid-sized pre-owned cars!

Any attempt to disarm workers of financing as low as 5% interest after six months must be frustrated.

Workers of the world unite..this labor day weekend around all our great deals on every major brand.

Let us consider the price of a 2017 Kia Niro EX Touring

Karl you were only supposed to write a few lines of copy, not an entire manual on the production of a 2017 Kia Niro EX Touring.

This bit has legs, please add on with your own copy.

A simple flyer reading:

"Check out our great value deals!"

Followed by 600 pages of nested footnotes both exploring how value is calculated under modern economic conditions and being unbelievably catty to various 19th century economists and finally promising to return to how these deals are struck in volume two of this ad flyer for Toothless Sam's Car Emporium.
