    Spark 2LT with FC Lease Deal in LA/OC

    I did trade a vehicle which I believe got me a conquest incentive which was included in the price I showed. However, the price I listed was further reduced by the difference between my trade value and what I owed on the loan for it. I did not show this further reduced amount to try to keep...
