A email, or a phone calls or anything in the mail regarding your local dealership you bought your scion tc from,stating there in high demand and wanna buy back your car...

I must of gotten 3 emails and flyers for the past 3 weeks or so,that my local toyota dealership i bought the car from,wants to buy back my car regardless if i want a new car or not,its odd,im not selling my car nor do i plan on selling it any time soon,

Im just curious if anyone else got anything like this...

 

yes, lots of people have, it is just a way of getting you back into the dealership to trade your car in for a newer model.

 

I got one from a daler that I didn't buy the car from

 

thats what i figured,cause im sure they wouldnt buy the car just for the heck of it,it always something with them,its like saying,you had the car long enough,time to upgrade.........

 

I got one saying they would give me top dollar so I went and said I got this I wanna sell it for 14 they said no. So I said 13.5 and they said no. So I said stop lying to ur costumers my family bought 3 carss from u already. Maybe, they said no because I didn't want another car and was just going to drive my beater for the winter lol

 

Ya they wouldn't even give me blue book value and I said so much for giving me top dollar they offered me 7k I was like umm no

 

IDK about you guys but i plan to DD my tc until it falls apart and save my money for a track car.

 

This is just a general dealership tactic. Has nothing to do with Scions in particular. They'll do this for ANY car to try to get in back in the seat and sell you something else. There is no possible way for you to make out that much better than you currently are - unless you were already planning to trade in the very near future anyway.

 

haha my 06 when it had 21k miles back in Jan.09 they offered me 8k i lol and said thats alot below BlueBook Value

 

my friend has a 08 scion xb and got this noticed also,so he went to the dealer to see what they will offer him,and they were more into selling him a new car rather then buying his old one back.....and he even showed them the flyer.......and they acted like they never saw one before......it was weird......he just walked out in his current vehicle..

 

I get one like once a month

 

you guys should have gone to the dealer and just give them a big F. dealers are good at ripping stupid people off.

 

I get at least 4 letters a year asking to buy my car back from me..."no matter what condition it's in". I wish they would understand... I won't give up my baby.. EVER!

 

I've personally noticed-

Getting oil change, brake job from dealer: A Chevy dealership called telling me they have wonderful news...Wanting to give me a crappy trade in value for a Chevy.

Got a Coolant Flush from dealer once again: A Kia dealership called me saying the same thing.

Been doing DIY oil changes-Haven't gotten those dumba$$ , thanks for wasting my time messages ever since the coolant flush.

So if you do dealer services; thats probably why you're getting them.

 

I lived out of town for a few years going to school. I took my car to the local dealership to get a few things done on it. A week or so later I constantly got letters from that dealership telling me about how great the condition of my car was and how'd they'd be glad to accept it as a trade in if I were to be interested in another car. So yea... You're not the only one, the dealership just wants to make money off our cars.
