First he says they're planned purchases, then he says the purchases are accelerated. Which is it? Are you nit-picking again or just being thick? If I planned to by a car next year, I might go for the bait of 0% money and buy one now instead. Key word: INSTEAD. So, instead of making a few thousand off of my purchase next year, they make much less (or nothing) now and nothing next year. BTW, stick to marketing 'cause finance ain't your thing. That extra bit of interest your mum made, is about what it cost Mitsubishi to sit on the 0% paper. After tax, she probably made about $800, again about what it cost them after tax (assuming they actually owe any taxes that year - if not, time value of money makes the deal even worse for them).
