interesting email from the dodge dealer

We're sure you are aware of the ever-rising fuel prices. What you may not be aware of, is how easy it can be to move into a new vehicle at the same or lower payment. These market conditions have not been seen before, and we are not sure how long they will last.

With the current demand for pre-owned vehicles at its highest in years, your 1999 Dodge Ram is worth more than you think. In fact, you may be able to trade in your current vehicle for a one-year-old SUV and pay nothing more or even less! Look at these examples:

2005 Neon - Kelley Blue Book value $5,600* now selling for $8,000* at auctions!
2008 Caliber - Starting at $14,998*

$14,998-$8,000 trade = $6,998*

As you can see from this one example, if you owned a 2005 Neon, you could purchase a new 2008 Caliber for $6,998 - less than the trade-in value on the 2005 vehicle! That works out to only $129/per month for 72 months (plus tax/tags). We can go over your specific details when you come in.

We would much rather buy a pre-owned vehicle from one of our valued customers like you, than from a stranger at auction. We will offer you a premium value for your trade, and put you into a new, or one-year-old car or SUV, at the same or lower payment than you are making now.

And, here's an added bonus: When you purchase a new or pre-owned vehicle from us, you will receive 6 Free Oil Changes! Simply present this email when you arrive, and you won't have to worry about oil changes for the next 18,000 miles. Peace of mind for free - you can't beat that!

Bring in your Ram for a free appraisal, and check out what we can offer you. We know you'll be glad you did!

Sincerely,
Joe Zappia
Sales Manager
Wilson Dodge Nissan

I get postcards with similar wording from several different Dodge dealerships on a regular basis. One out of town dealership still wants the '02 SXT that was totalled five years ago.

The ABC warehouse in town is having a sale. You get a free watermelon with the purchase of a large home appliance, such as a washing machine or refrigerator.

That maybe so but my ACR only got 240 to a full tank and I had to run 92-94 and my Caliber gets 320 easy to a full tank of 87. The tank is only 2 gallons larger. But my pocket bike could beat it in a race.

Was that a stock ACR I know when my 98 R/T was "stock" on highway trips I would get 39-44 MPG on 92 octane and could always get 400+ miles per tank. Now I am lucky if I get 350 per tank.
