Dealer wants to buy out my lease?
I received a letter from the owner of the local Chrysler dealer franchise. He wants to buy out the lease on my 2013 Ram 1500 and set me up with a 2015 1500 for the same payment, nothing down. Probl...

On my last servicing on my truck I was approached (within 5 minutes of entering the waiting area) by my salesman. He stated he could relieve me of my truck (See sig), get me into a "newer" 2013 with 60k km on it (asking $45,000 Cdn), cut me a cheque to put toward the payments on my truck, and roll the payments on our Pacifica into the deal, AND make it cheaper overall. I'm still shaking my head on this, as when I purchased the truck the loan was through RBC, which I never made a "payment" on, instead rolling it right into my line of credit (which saved me $22,000Cdn or so in taxes/interest). So, so far as anyone is concerned, I OWN my truck. Just have to pay off the LOC. I am making payments on the DW's 2006 Pacifica, but we're almost 2 years into a 4 year plan on that one.
Besides, I have my truck set up the way I want it. And if I were to look into trading it in (I'm not), I have a ton of equipment to pull out first, and that's a royal hassle to do.
I figure the dealer is desparate for used trucks to sell and they're looking for anything they can get their hands on. They even used the line that my truck, which now has 151,000km on it, will cost big bucks on the next oil change due to engine overhaul at 160,000km (is that even done anymore?).
Cheers!
