Nissan dealer wants my 2013 370Z!

Run away! How much more advice do you need?

I get them all the time. Sometime I get offered book value. I think the demand is high in your area to get them in lots. But they are just trying to make your Loan longer.

My offers go straight in the trash

as someone who works in the auto industry in sales, these emails are 95% of the time, a waste of time and energy. However, there are certain instances where the customer may want out of their current car (high interest rate, just don't like it, etc) where it kind of works in their favor. If their previous car had a ridiculous interest rate due to bad credit, they can trade that in and get a newer car at a lower rate if they made their payments on time.

I've had many customers where we send out those emails and they did indeed get into a newer car at a slightly higher (less than $10 a month more) payment. Keep in mind, if you do trade in your car, you also get the tax savings as well so sometimes it is in your best interest to trade it in while your car is still worth something.

PS - KBB is a worthless tool to check current car prices because it doesn't factor in CarFax reports and other things.

I'm in my car at 3.5% interest. I think I posted this in another thread but the dealer I bought my car from kept sending me these and I eventually sent one back to them with a post-it note on it with "**** off" written in all caps

Yeah...........dealers do this all the time. My wife got one for her 2010 Kia Forte Koup for heavens sake! Dealers just want to get you into the showroom. They don't care about what car you have as trade. You can be sure that they will lowball you once they see you're interested in getting something new. Believe me I know. My brother was sales director at both an Acura and Audi dealership.

yep, carfax is kinda worthless too cause accidents dont show up very quickly.. if my car ever got into an accident, the day it comes out of the shop it will go straight to carmax or dealer trade.
