"...in order to fulfill special used-vehicle requests."

Isn't this just a scam of sorts by dealers to get you to buy a new car?

Default it's a total scam. VW does the same thing...

there is nothing special or different. You go in and they give you nothing for your trade and you have to do all the full bargaining on a new one. Just like always. It's a disguised scam.

That's total cheese. So much for Audi's new vision of the "premium" experience.

Default Marketing tactic, yes. Scam? I don't think so...

How is it a scam? They are clearly trying to drum up business, so where is the deception? If someone is dumb enough to walk in thinking they're getting a new car for free, they deserve to be "scammed".

Tactic: Yes. Scam: Yes - because of the scam excuses they give. Lie = Scam.

Do you have the details of the scam? What's the deal? I haven't seen anything about it.

Actually a scam entails cheating someone out of their money, not just lying.

What are they lying about? I don't get it. Does anyone have the actual offer?
