It's really common, even now a days. These awesome deals in the car sales business is called an " ad unit " which meant the car has been on the sales lot much longer than the rest of the cars, from reasons of car color, lack of or too many options and even just too many test drives, etc.

Usually the dealer gives incentive to their sales guys to push it for a sale for more commission even if it's a loser deal just so they can get newer units in. Still pretty cool though but majority of these cars were still getting sold pretty close to sticker price, or reduced at the front end(sales) and then they would get you in the back end(finance) with other stuff you didn't want and overpay for.

That's why care sales back in the day made much more money [emoji6]
