Dealer wants to trade my 14 for a 16.

Hell NO!
Don't do it!!

 

It's bullshit to get you to trade your truck in then they make money off your trade in and the truck they sold you. I got letters from my local dealer about my '09 Taco nearly 2 years after I had already traded it in to them for my '14... lol

 

I got a letter from motorwerkBMW for a $4K- discount on a 2016 335 xdrive after I paid off my '08 with BMW Financials last month. (They don't even have a 2016 335. The 340 replaced it)

It's advertising. It think the marketing tactic is to make us, who are loyal to the product, salivate over the new model year.

 

I never get these letters. To echo the sentiments, its not worth it.


Unless you can get a quicksand. Then its very, very worth it.

 

I get phone calls and letters all the time saying they are willing to pay top dollar...... they offered me mid blue book trade in value.

 

Haha honestly the Quicksand was the only thing making me consider it.

I dont have another 3k laying around to toss at mods I just did, glad everyone has the same feeling I did

 

Same boat...once I saw quicksand I heavily considered a quick swap from my 2015 to a 2016. I actually still frequently contemplate doing it.

 

Just got a letter from my local stealership about trading in my 09. All's I had to do was call a "special"800 number and punch in my "secret" pin to find out what my truck was worth. Went straight to the shredder

 

Yea, we receive letters and calls for both my Tacoma and my wife's Acura RDX all the time. Just this week, the salesman who sold us our RDX emailed us.

 

I've got several of those letters since I've bought my '11. Don't do it...

It's not for your benefit.

 

what do you want to bet somebody bought it saw the goodies and said whats this shit and ripped it off put stock stuff on it and threw the good shit away

 

Makes me sad.

 

OP, don't do it. Your truck is worth tenfold that turd gen

 

it's a waste but i've seen that kind of stuff happen before

 

It's true. The head mechanics are in charge of all the take offs of vehicles. I always try and keep my eyes peeled, usually buying em lunch is enough to score some cool stuff

 

In my opinion... Don't do it...

 

Use to get the letters in the mail, emails, and phone calls from my dealer saying they wanted my truck, or that they had a buyer for my specific truck. Borderline harassment. The email had an unsubscribe button at the bottom buried in the small print. One of the options upon clicking on it was to unsubscribe from all forms of solicitation. Never heard from them again.

 

Yeah I received the same letter went in they offered me $20K for a 35,000 mile 14 double cab off road needless to say I walked out....

 

I got a text from my salesman yesterday asking the same thing. He said he has several 16's coming in soon and "they could really use my '14". Umm, nah. I'm good.
