Got this in the mail today

And damn. it wasn't my private cash offer but it was still interesting. Any thoughts on the best way to use this? My truck's ETA is 12/14 and the event ends 12/11. I know this is just a typical bait and switch as it says up to 100% of MSRP.

Guess the real question is has anyone seen and/or used this before and what are your experiences?

Not sure about the offer but you may want to crop the picture so your name and address doesn't show.
Personally I wouldn't post personal information like that. Better safe than sorry.

It came with a pot of gold delivered by a leprechaun. So I think that makes it real.

I know it's junk but it came from my dealer and I have gotten these things before but not when I was 3 days from buying from that dealer. I think if nothing else I am going to have some fun with the dealer with this. Just not sure what how to approach it.

Doesn't hurt to ask but it does say any new vehicle in stock.
You know what they say "if it seems to good to be true ..........

I get those a couple times a month for every vehicle I've owned since 2008. It would appear I have excellent taste in cars/trucks as every one has been in very high demand used and dealers are dying to get all of my cast offs.

I saw one of those back in 1989 or so. I was going down I-95 in Florida doing like 75 and this Yugo with a hood scoop goes flying past me. Had to be doing at least 90.

gotrox ...... I mean BARRY...... I read through that letter again I really think Pat and that group at Peoria Ford really feel close to you. I think they want you to win that $25,000 and get the deal of your life on that new truck. You probably have one of the few 2014 F350s on planet earth, or even beyond!!

And if you win that Target gift card....... be careful because I still can't figure out which bathroom to use in those stores.

I dreamed about registration #16630.... I really think it's a winner. But hey... I've been wrong before.

sorry......... couldn't resist...... it's just one of those days

I to have shared that dream of the #16630. I am hoping that I get the gift card with the dog. I love dogs.

But seriously, I sent it to my salesperson and am going to call them out on this.

One of my brothers got something similar from Chevy a year or two back. He got all excited and went to the dealership, what they offered him was about trade in value or what CarMax would offer. They told him that they have to deduct a certain amount per mile the car had as well as wear and tear.


Just another way to get people to the dealership.

Car Dealers. They sit around all day figuring out how to get the money out of your pocket and into theirs.


I'm interested to hear what happens! Let us know gotroxs.
