what do you all think about this?

i received a letter in the mail offering to buy back my coupe for a new car due to a "shortage." they claim that you'll be able to get the same or lesser payments. i'm pretty sure they stick it to you somewhere along the line.

i have a 2006 6MT coupe (black)/black leather w/ 20,000 miles.

thoughts?? anyone done this before?

 

never heard of this. you should scan this

 

There is ALWAYS a catch !!!!!

 

yea, they'll prob say that i can pay less per month, but then they'll extend the # of months or some BS like that. eh

 

WOw i wish i got that offer, id go for it, at least ill see what i can get

 

That's the cheesiest sales pitch I've ever heard. This letter came from the local dealer, did it? Scan it, we all want to read it.

Sounds like they just want you to come in and trade your car in because sales are slow.

 

Yea, i got 2 letters like that too in the past. The know they can sell it for much more than they will give u because its in demand.

Its just a fancy way of advertising "Buy a new car from us with a trade it"

 

sales scam...dont think they will give you more than normal for your trade in...because they won't.

 

I work for dealerships and I can tell you its not a "scam" so to speak. They may give you above kbb for your car especially being a Coupe right now. The whole thing is this, lets say you are interested in a sedan for $36k, they will give you full book on your Coupe but not budge on the Sedan, where as you can sell your coupe for close what they are offering and chop down the price of the Sedan without using their coupons. It would help if you scanned the ad, I design these things on a regular basis. They are legit for the most part but always a reason behind every word on the page trust me

 

i've gotten this twice before in the mail from the dealer. they just wanted to get me into a new car with a new five year loan. ftl

 

imagine the dealer selling the same car twice. that's what they're trying to do. buying your car back that you just bought, and turning around and selling it again for almost the same price you bought it for.

 

We all know dealers make $ or they wouldn't be in business. But I just bought my 07 coupe for the dealer's cost and got a good tradein on my existing vehicle. If it interests you, give it a shot. Nothing lost....

 

i got it also :0

 

Very common, for any car. Anything to get you back to the dealership with the thought in your head of buying another car.

 

If you are willing to kick in some extra downpayment (assuming that you aren't upside down in your current car), they can always stretch out the loan as required to get payments down.

Maybe get a car with fewer features too to lower price.

I've received these offers on my F150. Normally, they come with a coupon for a $10 oil change, which I use.

As for my G35, I haven't received these offers. But I do get chances to win some gas or something for responding to their mailing which asks when I would be looking for a car (normally say 2 years), and get an offer to have an overnight test drive.
