[QUOTE="Badgertits, post: 1856524, member: 31322"] This may go w/o saying….it can be a bit tedious, but since I’ve been buying new vehicles this how I’ve always handled the “trade” situation. Initially there’s ZERO discussion about a trade in, i scour the online sales deals & put my criteria into the factory vehicle/dealer locator - wait for them to come to me w/ multiple offers. Then cherry pick the best deals outta whatever comes outta that, print em out/get a firm offer in writing/email & keep them on hand. Then I’ll go around to other dealers (usually not the same company I want to buy from, get values on gen2 Raptor trade from a Ram dealer if my intent is to buy a gen3 etc) & getting values on my vehicle from the online traders & carmax/vroom etc. then I’ll cherry pick whatever the best offers for my current ride from that lot are & keep those in hand Only then will I go, w/ ammo in hand, to the local dealers I may end up buying the new vehicle/Gen3 from & work as best a deal I can- I’d drive my wife’s SUV, or my vette or a friend’s car NOT the gen2 Raptor w/ 37k, I’ll get right to the last details of buying the new truck ironed out, & will use all the internet offers & cross country deals I have in hand as bargaining tool & if it’s getting close to the point where we’re haggling over them throwing a tonneau cover in THEN is when I’ll say, “oh & btw I’m actually thinking I may want to trade in my old Raptor on this instead of just laying out the cash- you know inflations a bitch! How do the #s look on my gen2 look on trade w/ this deal?” Usually they get REAL ticked off- & I’ll whip put the best trade values I have on the gen2 & 1 of 2 things happens, they either begrudgingly match it since they have a sale for a high value vehicle right there in hand, or they lose all customer service credibility & a future customer permanently by telling you to go pound sand- & not gonna lie- that HAS happened to me. I’m batting about .700 tho w/ this method & dont even try to convince me otherwise you could come up w/ a way to do better (unless you have an “in” w/ a dealer you know of course) Like I said it’s tedious & can be a PITA doing an “acting” job to get a good deal on a new vehicle, but hot damn does it work well & eliminate the BS haggling.
