Another dealer trick?
I received an "authorized buy back notice" from my friendly Acura/Suburu dealer today
They will buy back your 2000-2008 Acura for FULL MSRP, based on NADA car guide.
It goes on to say, "obviously,your current vehecle must be in safe working condition, normal wear and tear and free of paint and collision damage. The only deductions will be made for mileage ( .10-.65 depending on model and condition-minimum 15,000 miles/model year) We don't want to scrutinize every aspect of your trade.
We only want to sell you a new car for a payment less then you ever thought possible. LMAO
I figure I have a 2005 tl with 92,350 miles and she's clean
But I'm sure I'll fall into the .65 deduction range.
Let's see I'm 17,350 over the "average" miles, so that's a $11,277.50 deduction. I think I paid around 34,000 Back in Jan, 05.... SOOOOO ya think I can get $22,722.5 from a dealer????
Me neither
Stay tuned I'm going over there this afternoon, Just to have fun with them..

I figure I can get a new car for 200 bucks a month for 9.5 yrs.LOL They gotta be hurting with the banks sitting on the money....
I gotta go, Cause I like fu$king with them.
I do need some new tires though BTW, FYI I swear to God I have not done my brakes yet, Front or rear with 90,000 plus rounds... Getting close though Gotta say this has been the best car all around I've ever owned.

I would call or email first, spending unneeded time in a dealership is not my idea of a good time. Those $5,000 coupons and stuff like what you received are all scams, negotiate a good and fair deal when you need/want to, not when they tell you that you should. You can bet your ass a dealership will not agree to a deal that they will lose money on, if it seems too good to be true it probably is.

The key is what is FULL MSRP? NADA guide can be used to find out the value of used cars, so I'm thinking it's like saying we will give you actual trade-in value of your car minus any overmileage.
Wouldn't they do that on any good day anyway?

Unless I am very serious about buying a car I try to avoid dealerships, not my idea of a good time.

I changed the tires on my 06 tsx at 74,000 miles and the original brakes are still good at 95,000+miles.
I get those offers often-in the garbage they go.

I don't doubt it about the brakes, I bought a new TSX in 04 and put 45k miles on it and when I traded it in the brakes still looked like they were half good - at times I regret selling that car

If I want to look at cars, I go to the dealer on Tuesday. Here in Japan, they are closed that day, so it's perfect. I ask no questions, no vultures to bother me, and I get to see the cars up close.
And if a guy has a name like Dick, then call him RC, short for Richard Cranium.

I love the "we'll give you $5,000 over book value for your trade!!" offers.....always seem to be from a Kia or Hyundai dealer - you know, the ones with the HUGE markups that could possibly make that work- not. Makes it all the more unbelievable, yet i still keep meaning to challenge them on it (for sport), probly with the wife's minivan...shyt tackin on 5k would probly double the value
