Mailbox solicitations from your dealer?

Does anyone else get the flyers from your local dealership saying they want to buy back your truck, with an attached voucher for $xxxx towards a down payment on a new vehicle?

I just want this junk to stop Gotten this stuff for a couple years now and it irritates me.

How do I get off that mailing list?

The flyers are sent out by Hearst Business Media Corp. and their Black Book media program.


I want to go rip my dealer a new one for selling my info.

Went to the dealer, didn't have to rip. They at least acted like they took my request seriously. Hope it sticks!

I get 'em all the time...trying to "buy back" a truck they never sold me in the first place. They always include a flyer for some incredible deals but then have an * and "diesel vehicles extra" on the bottom somewhere!

What gets me mad is the way they try to disguise the mailer to look official, or like a card etc.

If there's a postpaid return envelope in junk mail I get, I stuff everything in that envelope, and send it off. A couple of times paying a buck or so postage to get nothing gets your name off the list.

These don't usually have a return envelope, but look like a check in the window and invite you in to sell you something while trying to steal your truck away, or are like a pamphlet with loads of coupons that don't include diesels, even though they know I have one.

We not only get the mailings, but phone calls from Hendrick Honda in Easley, SC where we bought our Honda Odyssey a couple of years ago. What is really weird about the phone calls is that we moved 10 months ago and have an unlisted number, we didn't have a land line at our other home, and they call on that number. I have no idea how they got it.

I also got a call from Discover asking for the previous owner on our land line (unlisted). That one was really weird.

Yup. Used to get them along with the "extra extended third party warranty" offers.
I also had to make a trip to the dealer telling them how irritated I was that they had given out my address. To their credit, they did make it stop.
