Yeah, I don't dig the part where they say they "need to acquire several pre-owned Firebirds to fulfill a special vehicle allocation."

This falsely makes you believe you will get good trade-in value.

Along with the other stuff, just don't lie to me, I'm not that dumb.

The only one I would jump on was the one I saw a few years back with toyota trying to buy back a bunch of prius. They were actually offering more than the car originally sold for because they were so backordered.

that letter is not for you to think that they need your car its to make you think that there is high value on trade but most of all its to put the thought in your head of purchasing a new vehicle complete bs but this is the best type of advertisement for car dealerships those letter are written very strategically

Bry, tell them: since your car is already a "collector car" (per the letter) and if they really "need" it that bad for the allocation....then they will surely pay you what you deserve, lol.

I'm sure "only 20K" for a car of your level is clearly a bargain to them.

I get a similar letter from Sunrise Ford asking to buy my F350 diesel dually all the time. I would love a new one but it helps that mine is paid off already.

That's great that they say "Imagine owning" instead of "Buy"

I don't imagine a new car in my driveway I imagine my camaro there, and maybe a couple other classic camaros too.

Bry I say you go down there and kick them in the *****/utterus (utterus if it is a woman)
