<prompt> Human: Got an interesting letter today in the mail from a local Subaru dealer. They want to purchase my car and are offering 120 of the KBB fair trade value for it. The exact contents of the letter are included below:nbsp; Fred or John Can you try to contact my name for me? I need a year, make, model of my car for our lot. I can offer up to 120 of the Kelley Blue Book fair trade value for their trade in - plus additional incentives towards a new vehicle purchase. If its in good shape well maintained and if we can get the deal done quickly, I may have a potential buyer for this vehicle. If my name is interested in trading up, I will make it worthwhile with current Incentives, Discounts, and Low Interest Rates available on the entire New 2017 and 2018 lineup and on pre-owned inventory! Print this email and send it off. Ill honor this offer through Monday, May 28, 2018. All theyll need to do is call Phone Number and provide us with their Customer ID ID NUMBER. We need their vehicle! Thanks, Name of General Managernbsp;Now, this sounds like complete bullshit to me. I figure that someone does want the car I have, but I have no interest in getting fleeced. I have also never heard of anything like this before, and was wondering how often things like this occur. nbsp;Additionally, is this something to even consider? If so how should the dialog look on my end to benefit me the most? Not entirely sure what questions I would even begin to consider asking if I were to entertain the idea of speaking with the person.Thank you for any advice you may have!!  <response>: Its a common ploy that dealers use to sell you a new car. Theyll give you an extra thousand dollars for your trade-in that they will more than make up for by selling you a new car. So its not a scam, just a marketing strategy.
