Oh I have no intention of taking them up on this. It came in the mail today and thought it was relevant to the thread. I hate legit companies choosing to use deceptive tactics like this. I wish they'd get stuck with having to honor BS claims they send people more often so this would stop.

There are three types of people in this thread: those that understand finance, and those that don't.

I must be an anomaly because I got a call for my 2011 coupe, IBM 2SS/RS. They had a buyer that saw it when oil was being changed. I looked online for what I wanted, a '13 Vert 1SS, didn't want leather in the sun. Went in and handed my keys over to the new owner at the dealership. I still see him at cruise-ins. We both love our new vehicles. He wanted the IBM so thats why he wanted mine. And before all these trolls go on about a new loan, I pay cash and never finance vehicles. He had to so thats why we did it this way. So not always a sales tactic, but really make sure you know all the details before jumping.

What does that even mean? Clearly it works or almost every dealer wouldn't do it. The customers are the ones that need to learn. If you buy a car without researching, you're an idiot. I'm not saying it's right for dealers to rip people off, but they DO, so the only thing a consumer can do is protect themselves which many (most) are too dumb to do.

I do believe they deploy this tactic on inexperienced customers.

ya same payment until you get all excited about your new Camaro sit down with them and find out its more. Harley Dealer tried pulling that one on me a few months ago. Ya interest is 2.99%. Sat down with them and its 14.99%. If I had a 850 credit score and was buying a new 14 it would be 2.99.

Sorry, just having good credit is no guarantee. For ex. I have a friend who has perfect credit, just didn't use it / owe anyone, so it didn't give a good rating. Things have changed, and it depends on which bank you use. For a good trade in deal, you need: Good 'active' credit, a car with equity (you don't owe too much on it), knowledge of what your car is worth, knowledge of what they are trying to charge you for the new car / what the bluebook is, (multiple) bank terms i.e. who is going to give you a good rate, etc..etc... All these things come into play. Just because the dealer can't help you with the financing that is the bank, not the dealer. If you negotiate a great deal, but then get screwed by the bank or your bank, that is them not your salesman. For those who say the dealer won't give you a good deal, well, what rust bucket are you dragging in? Do your owe more than what it is worth? Etc... Sure you can sell it yourself, you don't need a dealer, but you may not WANT to go through all of that, so the buy back is..... wait for it... an OPTION! ;-) Buying a new car with or without a trade in is the same deal. Know the details before you walk in the door. If you are like me and get approached with an offer at the dealer, take all the info, go home, run the numbers, and make a choice to go back / forget it. Simple when you know how.

This stuff isn't hard guys, a car is just a product like anything else. Just because you get mail from Publisher's Clearing House that says you may be a winner doesn't mean you win, you have to play the game. Good luck!

Dealer just made a nice fat profit, salesman made a nice commission, and the buyer just paid $2,000 more than they could have... but they stayed within their pre-set monthly payment dollar amount - so they drive away dumb and happy. You CANNOT beat a dealership. They will always come out ahead, even if all they get is hitting that magic monthly sales quota. But if that's all they have to show for the deal... the buyer has done their homework and held firm for the "price" they want (not the payment).

It's not a crime to sell cars, BUT a sales tactics like this one is cheesy to board line silly. Playing on one's ego is an old tried but true tactic. Your car is great, we need you..blah blah, blah, I personally enjoy the hunt. I'm always interested in which way will the salesman go?? Lock down, insult, compliment etc..
