On a lot of these schemes, buried in the fine print will be something about that deal only applying to one specific vehicle stock number. Then you go in to the dealer and they say "you just missed it, it sold an hour ago! but how about this other one? can't give you the same deal but i'm sure we can work out something to keep your payment the same!" They just want to get you in the door. Reminds me of those other mailings "Our used car department has a shortage of local well kept 2012 Burpmobiles! We'll pay top dollar for yours if you come in this weekend!" Yeah suuuuuuure.
Instead of going in email them specs on your current car including outstanding loan amount: Model, mileage, condition, upgrades, etc. Link to a comparable new model (or the exact car mentioned in mailer) and have them draft out a sales agreement with trade in value and new payment terms.
I wish I could get a deal like that. I have 2014 Chevrolet Cruze and a 2015 Equinox that I paid cash for and would love to trade them both in on new ones for the same payments.
Mine are in perfect condition and very low millage, but hey, I'll take the deal anyway... Free is good...
I am truly embarrassed for getting excited about this for like 2 mins
I just wanted to know the salesmen "modus operandi" by talking with you gentlemen
The "modus operandi" is to get you in the door. They can't get you to sign the deal over the telephone or online. They need you with a pen in hand.
Of course if you believe this offer from the dealer I'll offer you a way to pay off the car. I have a bridge that goes from Manhattan to Brooklyn, I'll sell that to you cheap. If you charged a small toll for everyone that crossed it you'd be a millionaire.
I thought this was going to be one of those situations like "I bought a brand new car less than a month ago, took it in for service, and they totalled it pulling out of the parking lot on a test drive" type situations.
And I was *STILL* going to be shocked that they offered a straight up swap in a case like that.
People frequently ask if a car dealer is telling the truth or lying. But that question is a waste of time. No matter what a car dealer says, everybody knows they're lying. Why ask when you already know? They're just like lawyers and politicians. Lying is a big part of their business. The consider the whole world to be their suckers. They consider suckers to be the only possible way for them to make a living. They think if they give you an honestly good deal on a car, they will be failures in the sucker game. If a lawyer were to give you an honest opinion on how to resolve a dispute, it would be the same problem: they would be failing to take advantage of you as a sucker, and thereby failing to do their business properly. And of course politicians thrive on suckers. Millions of suckers. People who so much want to believe what the politician says, that they believe it even when it's obviously nothing but lies.

Which one? A guy already sold me the Williamsburg with an option on the Manhattan bridge.
