[QUOTE="Torch10th, post: 15343579, member: 15703"] Having two vehicles to trade can actually work against you. It complicates the deal a little bit, especially if there is negative equity involved. It may be worth it in your position to try and sell the vehicle that's closest to breaking even in the private market. If you receive additional money on top of what you owe, put that money as an additional down payment trading the other vehicle. Regardless of how nice your cars are or how well you've kept them, the dealer is still going to do their inspections and cleanup on it. They will never simply take your word that it's as clean as you say it is, so don't expect that to help the price in your corner. This also only helps if they are planning on keeping the cars on the lot. The majority of the cars are simply going to be trucked off to the auction. You have to get out of that mindset that because you think your car is exceptional (whether that's true or not) that the dealer will give you more money for it. They won't. You have to expect the dealer to low ball you if you are low balling them. That's that mutual respect and rapport that I was talking about in my first post here. If you go at them that they need to give you top dollar for your trade and low ball them on the price of their vehicle, expect the dealer to reply in kind. Out of the 12 or so new cars that I have purchased I have never had what I would describe as a poor experience at a dealer and a lot of that was simply because I kept my expectations in check. I don't mean to be harsh, but based on how you're wanting this deal to go, it doesn't surprise me that you've had poor experiences in the past. As sleek pointed out, I think he's right on the money that you're probably going to be offered initially around 24-25k for your car. You may get another 1000-1500 out of it with a bit of haggling. If you do get a ridiculous low ball offer, that's probably a place you should avoid unless the absolutely have 100% the car you want on their lot. [/QUOTE]
