i got this in the mail yesterday
I'm not sure if this is specific to just my dealership but the letter reads:

Brian,
We are selling more used cars than ever before. This has left us with a dire need to place several used quality vehicle such as yours back into our inventory for immediate resale. Your 2002 Maxima has been identifed as meeting our stringent Buy Back criteria. Therefore, as a valued customer, we would like to offer you this incredible opportunity! Come into our showroom within the next two weeks with this letter and we will buy back your vehicle for *$1000 over NADA Loan Value* AND upgrade you to something new and with lower maintenance that fits your budget.


what is NADA loan value and how does it compare to kelley blue book? The only car i can see them "upgrading" me to would have to be a 350z so i'm just gonna keep my fingers crossed and hope they make me a nice offer.

 

SPAM letter...

 

you gotta ask yourself one question...when did any business, especially a car dealership, wanted to save you money or give you a good deal?

 

Spam letter is right. They just want to get you in the door, that's all.

 

you think? we just bought a car from these guys 2 weeks ago. my pops got a 2k GLE Max. and i'm makin payments to them still on this car.

i'm still gonna take the trip and hear them out but that sucks. i hope you guys are wrong, although you probably are right.

 

All of these guys are 100% right. Go in if you want to become a sucker. Just watch your wallet and take some lube with you.

 

hey, all i gotta do is say no. i'm either drivin outta there in a 350z or my maxima. no middle ground.

 

Yeah, I got a letter like that. They even offered me a chance at some prizes if I would come in. My car selected ... give me a break. Strictly marketing as stated above. I did get a nice test drive of a 2k4 Maxima 6 sp. Nice car, but I like mine better. lol

 

I got that letter from my local dealership whom I bought my car from. I guess
the max is quite popular here and they wanted me to sell them the blue book
value instead of what I owe on it. They can kiss my a$$ as I love my car.

Mike

 

save yourself a trip
In short they arent selling enought new cars and they hope your the sucker that will come down think your getting a deal and buy a new car. Most dealers do this.

 

i got that letter for my old 2k1 lease car. "bring it back and end your lease early with no penalties to buy a brand new car today!"

yea, they wave off the penalities and rape you on the new car price.

 

Like everyone else said...then they also make a nice profit on the sale of your used car too...

 

LOL Your mind is telling you no, but your body is telling you yes. They would love to sell you a 350Z from their lot.

What did the five fingers say to the face? SLAP!!!! Thats whats going to happen when you walk into the dealership. They are going to slap you with a bunch of B.S. Good luck!

 

id just go to tear a new as@hole into one of their new cars......

 

Basically this, if you are a good negotiator, then go. If you think you are a good negotiator, go for a test drive, then go home. If you arent a good negotiator, dont even bother

 

Definitely a sales maneuver!! If you want to have some fun, make them buy the car back @ $1G above RETAIL value and then tell them you dont want to trade up. I'd be curious about their reaction to that.

 

seems like they want you to come alone so they can knock you out and sell you in thailand as a *****....

Hey, I got an Idea... If people need used cars.. dealers need used cars to sell to the people... ask if they will pay you the same amount as dealer retail...

 

This is the first time I ever heard of someone getting a letter like this.But I would go down there and test drive the hell outta a 350z and then get back in my max and go home.

 

I got a letter like that a few months ago... for my:

1990 nissan sentra xe loaded with an automatic and cassette radio. It seems as if my car still has some value.

 

I got one too a long time ago. In fact i think i got it twice. I just threw it out because its obvious their intentions are to rip u off. (and to probably fulfill their sales quota)

 

NADA stands for Nissan of America Domeinthea$$withoutanylube ssociation. I'm sure the NADA value will be much lower than blue book. NADA probably means Nissan Auto Dealer Association or something like that.

 

In Spanish, nada means nothing. That's what they will give him for his current car.

 

I would just ignore it unless they offer free hot dog and lemonade.

 

They will give him the wrong kind of dog and lemonade though.

 

dealerships are legal car jackers. especially trade-in's

 

you guys are funny. alright i won't give them the satisfaction on thinking these sales tactics work, eventhough it kinda did. i am about to dump a lot of money into my car and i guess i was just looking for an alternative. screw it.
