Vehicle Buyback

Interesting marketing ploy and even more interesting if it's true --We got a letter from our honda dealership in NJ where we bought our van in 2001. They say there is a "severe shortage of vehicles in the pre-owned inventory" and want ours b/c of our "Honda vehicle ownership status" - which, i guess, means they know it's in good shape. They promise to take our van as a trade-in at $2,000 over the blue book value. Of course, that means we would have to buy a new car . . .
