Please review the following information carefully:

We need to acquire several pre-owned 2001 Acura Cls by April 23, 2005 in order to fulfill special manufacturer requests. You have been identified as an owner of one of these vehicles and our new car managers have been authorized to buy back your current vehicle.

We would like you to trade-in your current vehicle for any new 2005 Acura. With trade-in values at their highest in years, this may be your best time to save thousands of dollars on your next vehicle purchase. We feel confident that with your approved credit, you can make this transaction with little or no money down and with a monthly payment that fits your budget.

Sounds like a gimmick, but I'ma definately call them to find out the 411.

No new coupe (yet) = No new Acura for me anyways.

I got that letter too.

They're just trying to get you to buy a new car.

The saturn dealer my wife bought her plastic vehicle from sent her pretty much the identical letter. It's the oldest dealer gimmick in the book. You go in thinking you are some special VIP with a super-desirable car, they tell you all about the sweet new ride you can get, and then lowball you on the trade-in offer at the end.

I get these bullshit letters all the time from local dealers saying that only a select few have been chosen for a special pricing event and that I qualify for the lowest rates the government will allow. Getting shit like this just makes me want to buy from them even less than I did before.
