Also said that its very possible to get more for the car than blue book value. any of you guys get this? it says schedule to make an appointment, im bout to do it just to see how much they would give me for it.

A good way to draw in new customers I guess. I wouldn't go unless you intend on buying something new.

I get sent one of those letters once a year, and my car has over 130,000 miles on it. like they want to buy back my car. its a sales ploy.

That's all it is, they just want to get you on their lot to sell you a new car.

with 130,000 miles on your car, knowing honda, they'd make 'you' pay them, to take your 'buy back' car back.. trade in value is so low or nill.... i only get things from honda when they want me to come in and spend..service notices, worthless coupon offers, car deals..at certain college sporting events, we have a dealer here that 'gives u the option to win a chance to come in and buy a car'.. half time trivia question contest or winning seat in the stadium..how lame. u can visit the dealer any day of the week and do the same..this dealer's slogan: 'here at ... dealership, nobody walks away'.. no they dont, they run away..

When I checked out the G35C 6-speed the Infiniti dealer offered me like $4200 for my car when it has 120k on it. AND he wanted MSRP on the G35C. I was insulted, told him that, and walked out right there. 2 days later he called offering $7500 :chuckles: Gotta know how to play the game.
