Dealer Wants my Truck
Just got a letter from the local dealer here in San Jose wanting to buy my 06 3500 Mega 4X4 for $21,617 with no new purchase necessary. KBB says around $24K for a trade-in and around $28K for a private sale...WOW now i feel like I really bought at the right time! Has anyone else in the country seen this kind of offer?

I have gotten a few letters like that... it's a scam. No way the dealer would ever give you anything worthwhile... mine was for a trade in...
I almost did it a few years ago... It would have been an ok deal, almost the same payments, just longer.

Ahh hahaha I get those offers too. They sent those things so much they ticked me off and I went down to the dealership. I told them I like my truck too and I'm keeping it so don't ask again. Also requested they remove me from their list immediately. FYI it re-ups you the next service you go in for, even TSB or recall. You have to request to be removed again. I also get colds asking if we're considering buying a new car. I flat out said "no" with apparently perfect timing and in a tone that the guy on the other end of line found pretty funny. He wished me a good afternoon in an understanding tone and didn't continue with the spiel I'm certain he had.
I don't even mess around anymore with solicitors. I'd clock them all in the knee cap with a baseball bat if I could. I realize the people are all working for a living, but go find something other than bothering me.

Mine went "down" to $384. What a deal. Thanks California. The sunshine tax nails us here. Thank goodness for Prop 13 or we'd really get hosed.

I get an occasional notice saying my poor old truck is in desperate need of a TSB recall adjustment! LOL
I don't need or want any stupid back up alarm and all the rest were already done and the new K1 update was held up as long as I could until they wouldn't register it anymore. ROTFLMAO.
I just throw them things in the trash.

I got one of those letters today. I thought about sending it back and ask for $30,000 cash. I got to thinking that I would not take that amount because I would have to buy another and pay more and still not have a truck any better than the one I have even though it is 11 years old.
I like my truck!!!!
