Used car dealer offers deals and plea for life

By Owen Morris

Wednesday, February 2, 2005

Used car dealer and local celebrity Bill “Big Deal” McNeel announced in a local TV commercial last night that “terrorists” were holding him hostage on the roof of his Ford and Mercury dealership and would execute him if he didn’t sell 400 cars by Saturday.

“Hurry, hurry, hurry,” McNeel shouted, blindfolded but still wearing his trademark ten-gallon hat. “Save me! And save yourself with 97 Ford Explorers as low as $299 a month, and sedans starting at just $7,000. I need your help at McNeel Certified Used Ford, here on I-35 and Blueridge Parkway. Where the prices are as extreme as the terrorists.”
