<prompt> Human: I dodged the salesman because I was on the the road, but the summary is this: This salesman from my cars dealership says there is someone interested in my vehicle 2014 Mazda. For some reason I didnt ask him to explain the person requires a preowned vehicle, and they want to acquire mine, rather than find one at auction. In order to do so, they will give me the 2016 model of the same vehicle for the same monthly payment, for a term matching the remainder of my current loan.Has anyone heard of this kind of thing before? Is it legitimate, or is there something shady going on that Im not aware of?Assistant: Not necessarily shady, but this is just a sales method to keep you as a paying customer. No, they dont have a client wanting your old car.Something tells youre not understanding the length of the payments - you definitely wont be paying 2 years fewer payments for trading in your old card for a new one. Human: Making up numbers Dealer: Are you paying 400 a month for 38 more months on your 2014 Mazda? Me: Yes Dealer: How would you like to trade your car in today? blah blah blah, the stuff in the top Me: Youre saying I could get a 2016 of the same model, for the same price, for the same length of payment as I have now? Dealer: YesThats how I remember it. And to your point, theyve been calling me for a few days, so I knew the today today thing was a pressure tactic.  <response>: He almost certainly means the same length, but restarting it.
