Need help buying a used truck.

I know that these questions get asked all the time but I do not believe that this particular set has been answered.
I am looking to buy a very specific used truck that is located in OKC. I am located in Baton Rouge. I do not like the sales guy that I have been dealing with but its the truck that I want and at a great price.
The problem is that they are offering me 4-5k less on my trade than what dealers in Baton Rouge are. I have no problem trading my truck in and losing money vs selling outright but a 4k loss on trade is huge.
I know that dealerships trade new trucks all the time. Do they do the same with a used vehicle? Its a Ford truck at a Ram dealer, so if I go to a local Ram dealer and tell them that I will pay asking price if they give me the trade value that I want, will they make the deal happen? I know that I would have to pay some to get it shipped but that's better than me driving there and back.
I would also consider selling outright but I cannot be without a vehicle with my work schedule right now.

In addition, I'm pretty sure you don't get the tax credit for the trade in since you aren't registering in OKC
Got to TexasDirect.Com and do their trade in estimator. They will buy your vehicle without you buying one from them. As long as you are completely honest with the condition, they will come in at the mid-point of what they offer upon final inspection.

That's why they're low balling you on the trade.
Have you tried taking your truck to carmax to see what they'll give you? I had a dealer in TX match that number.

If its used, this wont work. Unless owned by the same Dealer.

No, the dealerships own the used vehicles, the mfgs own the new ones. When I was in sales, we would trade across state lines no problem, but each trade is at the discretion of the mgr, so they wont always trade.

Sell your truck on craigslist for what it's actually worth. I've had a few good experiences buying & selling vehicles through craigslist.
