You're correct, and that's something that they keep bringing up to me. I will get $900 or $1000 on top of my $15k offer. I'm feeling much better about the deal now that I've nearly finished parting my car. I should have about $1,500 back from all these mods...which I was basically about to just give to them for free. All that negotiating over more money for my trade, and all I had to do was sell some of my parts and get my money that way.
