If you have a trade-in, the price of the new trailer will probably be higher. The dealer will have to take into account the cost to the dealership to store, cleanup and sell your old unit during the price negotiations.
Which is why you never tell them upfront you have a trade. Negotiate the price on the new first. Then throw the trade into the mix.
At the end of the day they either want to make a sale or they don't. The only thing a buyer needs is the ability to walk out.
Agreed, also the same for cars.
