this is very true! sometimes one can get an "over allowance" on the trade
but only IF you are sure what your car is really worth! you can bet your a** they do,and they also got it "nailed" as to WHAT they can flip your car for as well!. it's a little mind game,so to speak,however to emphasize,YOU must "know" what your property is truly worth to play.the trick is to get close to what YOU want to let it go for,and then start doin' the "back and forth" with the "sales manager" NOT the salesman,as he is out of the picture now.you are dealin' with the money man now.if they still won't give ya what you want,and you are close,get pissed off,and WALK OUT! 9 out of 10 times they will call you back,THEN produce the "wad" of foldin' green,and tell 'em i want to buy the car today for the ''correct" trade in money,AND the difference in "cash" get ready to enjoy your new frs!
