I just got a big post card from the dealer who I bought my x from. It looked like a for sale sign, on the back they would offer me up to $13895.00 for it as they have several request for x's. Thought it was crazy As I would not sell it for less than what I paid for it sence they quit making them! I am wondering how many people got an offer like this.

 

Kev I think thats so cool. I bought mines off my sister for 6,000 and I will never let it go. Hahaha. Im thinking of looking for a 4wd limited Excursion as well. I want Both...

 

Key words being "up to"...lol

 

There does seem to be a big demand for X's for what reason I'm not completely sure. Before I found the one that I wanted I called about an X on a friday, decieded to think about it called Sunday and someone had come down from New Haven Conn and bought it, another was grabbed up by someone that came here (VA) from Michigan. I am sure one reason is that there is very little salt damage to X's in VA and you can find them with very little rust if any

 

We get this crap all the time. Send it back with "Owner deceased" on the card!

 

One of the service ladies at my dealer has a 2wd and ask me everytime if I'm ready to sell my 4x4!!!

 

My dealer keeps sending me the same letter every so often too. I'd never trade or sell mine, 10 years and 301K together is too much to throw away...

 

One of the biggest legitimate scams out there. By the time you get to the dealership
they have a list of reasons why they can't offer you "up to" $13,895.

Reasons such as
"the front seat is worn",
"the paint is not as shiny as it should be",
"gonna need new tires soon",
"it is almost 9 years old, ya know",
"it would be worth more if it didn't have 125,000 miles on it",
etc....

 

Sad but true. It's amazing how much each item will knock off the price too...

 

I haven't received anything like this on my Ex but on my 06 Mustang GT Conv the selling dealer offered to buy it back twice and order me another. It wasn't an 'up to' offer it was just a plain cash offer of what I had paid for it. Gotta love it when things are in demand. Funny how 2 years later I go to sell it to buy the Ex and no buyers are to be found for an absolutely mint GT with all options and very low miles. Oh well....

 

I could make a profit on my X right now but it took so long to find the right one I would never sell it. I would like to buy another one just to put away and save for later.

 

It's just a ploy to get you to BUY a NEW vehicle so the dealer can make $$$.

I've gotten the same things: "do to high demand for you 2000 Jeep...."

 

Thats all that is, they are trying to lure you in to buy a new vehicle

 

i profited off both of my excursions(sold my '04 for more then i paid, and my toatled '00 i got $5,000 more then i paid for it)...they are a rare hard to find in good condition with a decent price. thats why i dont plan on letting this one go...either in a sale or on a tow truck!
