Too bad no dealership in the world uses the Kelly Blue Book. But I bet you I'd get that much for mine, not that I'd ever do it because I could probably sell it privately for a lot more.

The really sad part is all the people that run right out to the dealership with ad in hand. If I were a salesman, it would be hard not to smirk or giggle as the idiot walks in

If it didn't work they wouldn't spend all that cash on printing/mailing.

One time I got one of those letters that look handwritten from a dealership, offering me about $23K for my Pontiac G8. I wrote the guy a letter back with the same font and told them I had already traded it in for my dream car lol
