Dealer offers to buy my car
Just got an Audi letter in mail in which my local Audi dealer is offering me between $29K-$33K or even more upon a quick inspection.They are telling me there is a huge demand for my vehicle and if i may be interested in selling it to them. They also state that I don't necessarily need to purchase a new one. Should I trust this? or if this another marketing strategy they do at dealers. I have owned several cars in the past and never received such letter. Truth is I keep my car in pristine condition and they do know about it, don't even have a single scratch on it. I don't have a selling need at this time but I am just shocked at the resale value on this vehicle. I wonder though.. if there is a huge demand why don't they just order more?? I am guessing I could get close to $40K in private sale, what do you all think?

They also sent me a letter to inform me my 45,000 mile maintenance is due according to their records, I don't even have 38,000miles. Veedumac, it may possible that there is really demand for V6 or a medium choice in A5/S5 line up. gd10 is also right, most dealers are restricted to orders. tgdA4 I can believe you paid over $50k for an A4. $35K for my A5 after 3 years would be quite a pay.
