<prompt> Human: I bought a Toyota Coralla 2009 in 2012 for 13k. It now has 80k miles and is in very good shape and totally paid off. Only debts are mortgage and wifes car Camry, almost paid offThe dealership has called me a few times, which I finally answered last night and they are saying theyre low on inventory and are willing to pay retail, as long as its still in good condition.Weve been talking about upgrading to an SUV or mid size pick up truck, since weve started a family and are having a tough time fitting in the car. We were planning on waiting about a year to do this, but I feel tempted to make the jump if we can get a fair amount for the car.Questions are: Is this a dealership style scam? Is it even worth checking into or would we be best just sticking to the plan?  <response>: I am actually the purchase manager for a local dealership. I do straight up purchases all day long without the customer needing to buy a vehicle from us. One thing that does not sound correct is the dealership willing to pay retail. The only way I can see that being a possibility is IF you buy a new car from them at asking price. It doesnt matter to them if they over allow a few thousand dollars for a trade-in if they make 8k from you.
