re: Questions re: "in and out" vehicle purchase

That's basically what I'm trying to do but I don't want the dealer trying to add-on all kind of extra "fees" because the vehicle is worth more than the trade-in.

I've already agreed on a price with the current owner of the vehicle -- it just can't be sold directly to me b/c it's business owned and the business would have to recognize income on the sale whereas if it's just traded-in then no tax consequences for the business.
