Used Cars

Film Synopsis

Used Cars (1980) chronicles an ambitious salesman at a struggling Arizona used-car lot who hopes to turn his talent for persuasion into a political career. When the dealership comes under threat from its more successful rival across the street, he and his coworkers respond with increasingly outrageous tactics to keep the business alive. This satirical comedy turns salesmanship into a contest of manipulation and spectacle, drawing a pointed connection between advertising, political ambition, and the willingness to say almost anything to make a sale.
