I have scheduled service tomorrow morning and got a call from the dealership wanting to buy my car back. She she said they were having a hard time finding used GS Fs (yeah no kidding) and would rather overpay a customer of theirs rather than overpay at auction.

That sounds like a standard pitch to anyone they want to buy a car from, but I’m interested in hearing what they will offer for the car and discounts for a ‘17 during December to Remember.

Has anyone else been offered a buy back from a dealership?

I'm sure its one of their Marketing tele sales campaign... Hi sir we would liek to buy your (XYZ car) as it is in high demand, blah blah blah.......

That’s what I’m thinking as well, she works out of the dealership and is going to meet me tomorrow when I drop my car off for service

+1, dealer is trying to ring up a new sale. Trying to make you feel good about your car.

That's exactly what I was thinking when i hung up with her yesterday. I recall dealerships in the past sending me post cards a few times a year about lowering my monthly payments by trading in for a newer model

Thanks for the feedback! The girl at the dealership didn't actually discuss any numbers with me, she wanted more time to put something together and asked me for my preferences on color for a vehicle. When I came outside where my car was left after service, she was with the sales manager taking pictures of the outside and inside... which got my curious on whether they were really considering buying it. She is going to call me later today.

First thing come to my mind when I read something like this.

marketing campaign to get you into a new car..

Dealership did the same to me last year and my RC-F, and they offered me $10K-$12K below auction pricing at the time.. I have access to Manheim Auctions so I know at the time the RC-F was going for $48K-$51K at auction, and they were offering me $39K as if they were doing me a favor..

Just curious but was this Herb Chamber Lexus of Sharon, if so its a marketing tactic to get some used cars in. They called me trying get mine right after I purchased mine.
