Reply #7: This does not seem like a new idea. Dealers have been

offering such incentives for quite a while. I know I've seen commercials from one that said it would take any trade-in, regardless of condition (in other words, clunkers and worse). This was at least a year or two ago, I believe. It's nothing more than another gimmick, I don't think. If it works, then their gimmick worked - good for them. Things like "cash back" and the like are just as arbitrary, aren't they?

I don't understand why this pitch is wrong, or who would determine what was wrong about it - unless they are willing to look into every other oddball "deal" rattled off by a zillion random businesses...

I'm confused, anyway. (Nothing new).
