RE: Cheap Car!
Years ago when I was in the rental car business we would mess with the customers that would not upgrade from the subcompact Geo Metro (or similar[8D]). We offered them a "mini-waver" CDW/LDW for $3-4 per day that covered up to $500 worth of damage and said (with straight face) in the case of these cars that covers the entire value...[:-]
You'd be surprised how many people missed the joke and just nodded in agreement.
