Haven't been on here in a while..so if someone posted this I apologize in advance.

I recently appraised my truck on-line just to see it... as I'm sure you guys know, the value is pretty much where it was 3 years ago.

I guess some of the Ford dealerships are trying to buy locally owned trucks from people, rather than auctions + random trades.

Either way, glad to see them hold their value so well....even 6 years later

 

You going to old town?

 

Dont want to burst your bubble but I have been getting form letters like that from car dealers for 15 years. No matter what Im driving. They want to get you in to sell you a new car - Thats it - no special deal - just come buy a new car

My $0.02

They didnt even customize the letter
Dear ( insert customer name here )
We are looking for ( insert custimer vehicle here )'s for our used lot

Please let us give you excuses why you dont qualify for the great deals we are offering ..

Blah blah blah

Thanks
(Insert name of general manager here)
XYZ Ford Dealer near you
or XYZ Chevy Dealer near you
Or XYZ Dodge Dealer near you

 

Sales weenies will try anything and everything to create "traffic".

Just to illistrate how completely out of touch car sales people are... Two weeks ago I went to drive a slightly used car w/low miles on it. I was traveling 115miles to look at this car and the salesman knew it. He asked what time would be good for me. I say "As early as is possible. Say.. 8am?"

He say's "No that would'nt be good for me. I have a sales productivity meeting to go to". I kid you not.. those were his exact words.

I wound up buying the car.. and had a little "fun" with him and the manager too. You know.... Life is funny if you pay attention.

no bubble here...I only care what NADA says. I just never received one of these, and I have owned 4 Ford trucks in the last 6 years. It figures this dealership would use that tactic..they are very shady people.

I did think it was a very generalized letter though, I wasn't even sure which of my vehicles they were "targeting"


Steve:

I'm out of the loop man, when is it? If its the right day I may be able to make some sort of dual purpose trip out of it.. its easier to get out of work that way.

 

I get one of those about every 3 months or so for every car I've ever bought or had serviced at a dealer. I've even gotten them because they had my information on file from just buying parts...
