There is fine print at the bottom or back of the letter. I has "points" i.e. they penalize you for every mile past a certain amount. There are several loopholes. Just throw it away. I got a letter similar and thought the same thing you did at first.

The more I see stuff like that the less it makes me want to go to a dealership.

The place I buy my cars from never sends me crap unless its a financing promotion sponsored by MMA.

The only way to find out is to call or go there, worst, you lose 30 mins.

Yeah, they'll reimburse you for what you paid for yours, as long as you don't mind paying $60k for theirs

Hey, I'm in Canada right now on business, but when I get back, I'll scan the letter. It does say at the bottom, $.10-.55 per mile taken off, but it is 100% of the MSRP NEW. I might take it in just to see how much I can get for it. Plus... They said additionally, after I trade in the vehicle, I can get up to $4.5k off of the new car.

so for example mine with 44000 miles on it they will take anywhere from 4,400 to 24,200. it sounds like a scam

I've gotten similar letters from Honda dealers looking to drum up business. It's an old ploy.

Just remember, you don't get something for nothing. It's just a way for the dealer to churn inventory, by which they make money and customers lose money.

Yeah, I guess it's just a ploy, I'm going to bring it in anyways, because my wing's clear coat is coming off and I'm going to try to get it replaced for free...

wow, 55 cents per mile.... they would have deducted more than the msrp when I got rid of my car.

I don't believe that s**t. I'd say if you like your car stay with it. I received a call from the Mitsubishi dealership where I got my car and they asked me if I'm interested in the new X. I said no thanks but I asked how much they go for and his response was $36K to $55K. What a hell....
