Dealer is saying they want to buy my cousin truck

My cousin has a 2017 Toyota Tundra she got something from the dealer wanting to offer her a price for her truck, what is that all about

 

The dealer flyers they send out to come in for an offer? They want to sell you a new truck

usually it rambles in about your vehicle being “highly in demand” and they’ll give you “top dollar for your trade”

 

That is what I thought too just wanted to double check

 

My local dealer does it all the time. I get a letter every few months. They wanna sell you a new vehicle and extend you financing term.

 

I get them too but I don’t think they would want mine. I bought it from a Insurance auction.

 

I had Toyota wanting to buy my 15y old Sienna a while back....high demand, interested buyers ...yeah right.

We get flyers about our house all the time too. Not for sale, thanks but no thanks

Funny, Ford never wants my 2008 Escape.

 

Sales tactics my friend... Flyers, letters, post cards. All are tactics to get you to bring your truck in. Ignor it all.

 

Find your nearest trash can and dispose that offer.

 

I got the same but an email the other day. They want my 2018 4x4. No thanks, it’s already built up.

 

they wanna buy your truck, then leave you with no truck and expect you to finance a new one.

 

Still get offer letters for 2011 GMC that I haven't had in years.......

 

Dealers always have "customers" who are "interested" in your exact vehicle.

 

Yep, my dealer did that. I emailed sales director an stated my truck is worth much more and you know it so why it so why send these bullshit offers at $7k less than market. He said they are sent by some marketing service in Iowa. Well it started a conversation that led to a good deal on a Tacoma Baja. Then same dealer sent me a customer loyalty discount on a Tundra. I negotiated best deal then went in with my customer loyalty discount. They started whining that they were as low as they good go. So I said this "customer loyalty discount is not worth the paper it is printed on" and walked.

 

They do this to get you to trade it in. Then they sell the used truck at a premium. Dealers make more on used cars/trucks then new ones. So if you are in the market and it’s a dealer you use, then no harm in doing numbers. Just don’t expect some great price for your trade, you won’t get it.

 

If you have a credit score above room temperature they most definitely would want to high pressure you into the vehicle of your dreams. Comes complete with a big stack of new payments.
It ain’t about your truck.
