Nissan dealer wants my 2013 370Z!

ped

Dealers keep pestering me with postcards, email and phone calls the last 3-4 weeks saying they want my 2013 370Z in trade (or outright to buy it from me). What's the deal? I told them I wasn't interested until the new Z is released. What would be the point of trading a 2013 touring with sports and all options, plus HKS catback, Stillen G3 CAI and UpRev tune for a newer, identical, 370Z other than lower mileage and new warranty (which I already got an extended warranty on mine so it's good for 5 yr/60k miles already and I'm nearing 40k miles)?

I thought the auto industry is doing great the last several months, so why are they jonesing so hard for used cars (or to simply generate transactions from people upgrading/trading in)?

This. It's all ********. They think people are dumb.

Here's two examples I received:

They offer up to $25,123 and claim it's higher than the first offer of $25,122

Dealer doesn't give two sh!ts about your car. They just want to sell the newer model to you. This is just a bait to get you into their stealership.

These are computer generated flyers sent out to try and lure people to buy a new car. Trust me, nobody at that dealership even knows what car you currently drive, nor do they care.

Well, their computer obviously knows what I'm driving; it's right there in their emails. In addition they offered to simply purchase my car whether I bought another car or not.

Because your information is all in their system.

It's a marketing gimmick, nothing more.

The computer knows that you purchased a particular car somewhere along the way. It does not know if you actually drive that car or still own it. I get similar mailings for cars I haven't owned in five or more years.

Sure, they'll purchase your car. For $25K? ROFLMAO The price they are mentioning is full retail (what they would try to sell it for) - hard to stay in business if you're not making a profit.

As others have mentioned, this is just a come-on to get you in the showroom. Ie, circular file material.

But there's no harm in asking and you may learn a valuable lesson about dealerships. Go ahead and see what they will offer for your car. My bet is that you will be sorely disappointed.

I haven't checked KBB for my car recently, but sticker on it was 46K so 25K doesn't seem out of the bounds of reality.
