I got a hand written letter from a manager from a dealership wanting to buy my Jeep a few months ago. Should've acted on it, but I didn't.

Of course it's because it makes them money! They want to buy your jeep and sell you another and trust me they are making money on both sides of the deal.

A - Low amount of good shape not very old used vehicles in the market right now. Where there used to be a glut of 1-3 year old used vehicles in dealerships there just isn't any more as people hold on to them longer due to the economy, job market, depreciating dollar, etc. Dealers make a lot of money on used vehicles and they serve as a good way to ensure a customer can still buy something from them even if their dreams of owning a new vehicle fall short for whatever reason. This means they are pushing HARD to find decent shape relatively new used vehicles.

B - Yes, they want to sell you a new vehicle.
