Has anyone else gotten something like this before? I’m kind of confused because I’ve only had the car for a year and it’s a lease. This is my first car, so I don’t really know if this is common. Thinking of asking my dad when he’s home later today.
Dealerships always send messages like this. They want to get you to buy a new car.

Yikes, yeah I remember my dad getting letters from Ford trying to buy his old car, but he actually bought it. Didn’t know this happens with leases too. Thanks for the info

The salesperson doesn’t know it’s leased, they just send these to everyone.

Gotcha .

Even if it’s a lease, they might do an early return on it… and try to roll the remaining payments into a new car. Some people end up turning in their lease early and get hit pretty hard.

I made some bad financial moves before, like rolling in negative equity from two old cars into my EV purchase in 2019. It’s higher monthly payments, but my employer covers most of it through a mileage benefit.

They offer to buy your car out of the lease so they can sell it to someone else and get you into a new car. Sometimes the offer makes sense, sometimes it’s just not worth it.

And they add the car to their pool of used vehicles to sell.
It’s just a standard message. They’re telling you your EV6 is in high demand… and trying to buy it from you underpriced, while pushing you to buy a new car at full price.

A few others explained that already, thanks

The more cars they sell, the more money they make. It’s like gambling – they win every time.
Tell them yes, but only if they offer at least $75,000. After all, it’s in high demand…
Me: Thank you, I know the EV6 is in high demand. It took me months of calls, emails, travel, and negotiations to finally get it.

I still lost $20k on my 22 model, unfortunately.
@Jody
I drive a lot, so I had to buy the '23 model. If I cared about depreciation, I wouldn’t have bought it. Civics and Corollas are good for that.

Oof 
Dealerships want to sell you a new car because that’s how they make money.

They also offer low-ball trade-in prices, so they win twice.
Almost all dealerships use the same software, so you probably got a generic message. I got almost the same thing from a Nissan dealership when I took my Ariya in for service.
