... if my 14.5 year-old Jetta GL is exactly the kind pre-owned vehicle the dealer's customers are interested in purchasing. It's probably only good for a couple more years, though that's what we thought two years ago. Wait, you don't think this might just be bait to get me to buy a new car? (Shh, not so loud, the Jetta will hear)
What I don't get is if my car is still reliable, why would I want a new one, even for 110% of Blue Book on the trade in? Less reconditioning, there probably wouldn't be much left anyway, but given how good this car has been to us, I'd rather let it play out its career on a single team and retire on its own terms.
