We towed that pup for 6 years, thousands and thousands of miles with that Lumina. And when we traded (remember cash for clunkers), it still had a great engine and transmission. (but everything else was falling apart, like the air conditioner, the electric windows, etc.)

And you know, that guy was right. He said they LOVED to sell pop-ups, because it guaranteed a return visit by the customer in a few years to purchase a TT, because (almost) every pop-up purchased was returned for a trade in 2 - 4 years later for a TT. Honesty is the best!
