I got a letter from my dealer stating they want to buy my car. They said they are having "an unusual number of customer requests for this specific vehicle."

In the letter they state that they are ready to offer $25,508, but also state it could be more depending on the condition, mileage, etc.

Letter looks authentic. Even if it is, there is no way I will part ways for $25,508. I would assume it would be worth mid $30's and possibly more as it has about 22-23,000 miles on it and has no blemishes inside or out.

Just wanted to see if others received similar letters.

Its a typical marketing ploy by the dealerships to get you into the dealership to get you to buy a new car! I get these stupid letters all the time!

They'll low-ball you on your trade ... make you think you're getting a good deal on the new model ... and stick it to you all the while!

OK now I feel stupid. Thanks for letting me know. Yep $25,500 is ridiculous.

Yeah marketing tactic thats when never to buy a car! Funny got one three weeks ago in the mail, but I already sold that car a month ago, you would think the dealership where I service my car would know I changed my car ha lol!

I received the same type of letter .... new car sales are slow ... hook and sinker for new car and then dump car at the auction and make money on the old one as well
