Yup, it's a sales gimmick

Drove over to Durate/Freeway Mitsubishi in repsonse to their "Vehicle Buy-Back" letter.

Based on the way the sales guy asked his questions, there can be no doubt that they're not really looking for any specific types of cars to buy back, but just want to get people into their lot and consider a trade-in for a new car.

Said they'd buy it for around $10,000, which, having just checked Edmunds, is pretty good for a dealer trade-in, which is typically around $8,142, with a private sale at around $9,535.

But that's not taking into account of the accident I had, which I'm sure would drop the price considerably. But it's not like the sales guy looked at my car in great detail, so that was just a quick estimate.
