Wait I don't get it. They offer a price on your car and what? What does the "new or used honda" thing have to do with it?

they offer you "top price" if you trade in your car and get a new pre-own car.

This is kind of ironic for nooby me here. A day or two ago, I complimented nyknick on his "sick ride" when in fact it was RedRyder's.

RedRyder, can I ask you a question, if a wee-bit off-topic? I'd like to know what size rims and tires you run. Especially the offset of the rims. I'm fixing to get a set of properly fitting plus-sized rims/tires to replace the ill-fitting ones Discount Tire suggested for me a couple years ago. Judging by the pic of your car, you know what's up in that department.

No problem. This is why when people post photos of someone else's car they should put a disclaimer in their post.

Wheel/tire specs are on my member's ride page, but here ya go. Wheels are 18x7.5 +42. Tires are 225/40/18. Don't forget that your tire width and profile are interrelated when maintaining correct overall diameter.

i got this letter too. my parents wanted me to trade in my car lol. i said no

haha. HELLLLL NO.

I'm a loyal customer and have been since I moved here a couple years ago. They want me to buy a new or pre-owned car, and they are claiming that thay are in need of 99 Accords to fulfill their used car requirements. The letter is an incentive to make me think I'll get more than I would expect for my car, to get me to trade in my car. They look your car over, make you an offer, and you decide whether you want to or not.

it's a marketing scheme to get you down there so you can trade in your car for a new one ... just like those stands at the mall claiming that you can win a car ... it's a bunch of bs
