I did not state that what the car companies are doing is offering the loan as a loss leader; I am saying it is a related concept. I was offering it to help in understanding that companies make tradeoff decisions of this kind. Please don't take my comment as making a direct equivalence between the two.
- taeric 9y agoEven directionally, I don't see how it is similar. I could see it being like door buster sales. Indeed, I mainly expect that is what they are. Convinces people to get in the market for a car, but then actually get something else.

- taeric 9y agoThere is no need to "give up." My questions are not trying to prove you wrong, but to help educate me. So, my specific question here is what makes it closely related to loss leaders? A concept which actually makes a lot of sense for me. If that was meant in the broadest of terms, then I understand. But "closely" does not imply "broadly" to me.
