Default Offer?

Has anybody else received an offer from their local dealership to buy back your car? When I dropped my car off for service, I had the dealership to make an offer on my '15 f-sport nebula gray with 60k miles. They came back with 24k, which would fall in between good and excellent condition values on NADA. I have no intentions on accepting the offer, but luckily they didn't have any LS that caught my eye lol.

That's actually a pretty good offer for a dealership. Maybe a sales person has been looking for your setup for a customer.

I receive those requests all the time for my former 2015 GS F Sport. Says they will pay 125% of market value. The dealership is a Lexus sponsored dealership and it's a legit offer.

I get those offers from the Audi and Volvo dealers. They are fishing for customers.

Get the offer regularly from my dealership to by back my GS. The offer letter assumes certain mileage and condition - indicating they would give me around $16k for my 4GS and apply that to the purchase of a 2019 GS350 AWD. @spiveyb agree with you that the new LS500 is beautiful - sat it in last year and I really liked it.

if your in the market, get a copy of the so called offer, then drive down to carmax or third party appraisers to see what theyre offering including your tax burden and get to it. Otherwise, dont be excited, its just another sales strategy that makes folks who came in for tires or an oil change, and left with a brand new car/loan/lease etc.

I took my car in for service about 2 weeks again and got one of those offers the following week. I figured it was based on condition and mileage of my car when it came in for service.

They all do it. I've received offers via email and regular mail from Lexus, Range Rover, M-B, BMW and Toyota. They just want to get you thinking about trading, and get you to come into the dealership.
