At least in Indiana, there is some benefit to getting a high trade-in value because you don't pay sales tax on the trade-in portion of the purchase. That's effectively an extra 7%. Ideally you are supposed to negotiate your trade-in then negotiate the price of the car. I've never found a dealer who would seriously talk trade-in values without a specific car on the purchase side already identified. > Don't get caught up in those numbers, because the dealer is better at > playing that game than you are. This is why I don't buy cars from dealers anymore.
