If you’re trading something in, that price and subsequent tax savings plays a major part in the deal. If you can’t haggle the purchase of the new one, haggle the sell of the old one.


This should all be done as 2 individual transaction. If a dealer wants do it as one transaction, walk away

Depends on the state and if there's a tax credit on the trade in.

If no tax break, yes, treat as two separate transactions.
