No offense, but you fell for this?

Its just your typical advertising, offering you everything as a come-on, to get you onto the showroom floor. If it sounds a little too good to be true, get it in WRITING.

The most common car marketing scam out there.

I haven't gotten any from Acura yet. I get them all the time for my Nissan. Anytime you see a letter that says "authorized to offer UP to 115%," a red light should go off in you brain that they will NOT offer you that much.

I get those from Toyota every 6-months or so.

There must be a HUGE demand for used RAV4's in PA.

1st warning flag: "up to 115%"
2nd warning flag in the fine print: "Fair trade-in value is less reconditioning (minimum $425)".

Yeah, I got mine (Acura of Memphis). I laughed about the part where they claim to be trying to meet the "special" need for used Acura's.
