It is always best to work your best cash deal BEFORE mentioning any trade in. Otherwise, they may THINK that they are giving you more for your used item, but it's really just some of the pad on the price that they would've come down on if offered cash.
Some dealers play the "what you paid for it against LIST PRICE" game.
AVOID that like the clap. Dealer cost is often 50% off LIST price.
..or less. And the longer it's on the floor against the current
issue of GP/etc, against how bad the dealer wants what you got,
bad sales, how bad YOU want it, can he sell a service plan?
Think New cars..and how they are sold. You NEVER win...
A retail store will never give you true full value on a trade in (it may SEEM that way, but see the above). They have to factor in the time it'll take to sell the item, the room it takes up on the floor displacing other items for sale, etc.
My suggestion is sell it yourself, then work a cash deal. And even if it's the "lowest price guarantee" nonsense, offer LESS. Most items can be had for less than GC's "sales prices," IF you bargain with them.
Yes, $$ talks, and you 99% of the time U get more selling it your self.
If ya must trade, get a cash price 1st. THEN the dealer will have
to explain WHY the trade price he has to give you now sucks.
It's so easy to 'sweat out' those GC 'salespeople'. They drop like flys.
