My goal is to not finance more than 20k. One truck is listed at 28,9k. So I will walk away happy if I can get them down 1k and get 8k for my trade in or any variable of this. Im certain I will get low balled on my trade in and be offered 5-6k range so I plan to try and negotiate the new vehicle price to as low as possible. Ill be looking at 3 vehicle on 2 different lots withion 15 miles of each other. I hope to try and make this work in my favor. Ive been roped in before and sat on the lot of a dealership 8 hours while they gave me the runaround hoping ill cave. I plan to have my financing in order and copies of my dl to hand over.

When I bought a car recently, the offers I was getting on a trade maxed out at $4k for a 2007 Camry. They told me it would be going to auction and they couldn't go any higher (multiple dealers said this). At that price, it was giving me about a $350 tax savings if I traded.
I sold the car in 2 days for $7600 cash with maybe an hour of time dedicated to the endeavor. Listed on Craigslist and Autotrader. I'm pretty sure I could have gotten $8k out of it, but I was ready to get it done. If you just like wasting money, more power to you. If the dealer offers what you think is a reasonable price for the trade, go for it. My experience tells me they won't come close, and the tax benefit will not be enough to cover the difference.
