I find it interesting some folks really are concerned about their "trade in" value... I've never worried about that as I do my research before I go to the lot. I feel my coach is worth X amount, their coach is worth Y amount and the only number I'm concerned about is the difference between the two....
@mrubaum....You feel you coach is worth $155,000 (X) and the dealer's coach is worth $400,000 (Y) then the difference is $245,000. Knowing that figure, it doesn't matter what they offer you for your coach, you simply offer them $245,000 plus your coach....they can write up the contract however they want, but the number's the same....
While I'm one of those guys who prefers to trade my stuff in, I know what I can afford and stay within those parameters. It took the dealer three months to call me back and meet my terms on the Executive, but I bought it and I'm sure we both were happy.....Dennis
Couldn't agree more.
I'm always amazed when someone arbitrarily decides that a given company is making TOO MUCH MONEY on something, when those people know little or nothing about the business. It's not like anyone is forcing anyone into that transaction. Once this society decides that they can place limits on how much money a business can make, ANY business, it's over...and I'll be one of the ones first in line heading for the hills.
Don't like the "evil" banks?...don't do business with them. That's what credit unions are for. Don't like the price someone offers you for something?...don't sell it to them.
