CBS Tampa:

Recently a woman with no cash came to Park Auto Mall needing a used van for her large family. The only thing of value she had to trade was a horse. The woman and her family now have a van and the horse has new owners thanks to the unique and non-conventional way Park Auto Mall sells used cars.

When they say they will make a trade with anything of value they not only mean it, they prove it. The growing list of items that they have taken in place of cash for a trade include a mobile home, signed baseballs, artwork, an airplane, jewelry and now most recently a horse.

    This sounds like a win-win situation for everyone. The dealership is helping people by accepting off the wall valuables (and apparently animals) as a trade in for a vehicle. Not only is this a unique way to do business, it’s generating positive press because of it. More dealerships should try that unusual approach and see how they do.
