Mtlakejim,

I concur for the most part. Buying a truck is a matter of negotiation. The dealer knows their bottom dollar and their job is to get as much over that as possible. I generally do not trade in a vehicle because it is an automatic loss of at least 3k. If you are quoted high on the trade in then you'll get less off the cost of the new one. Sell private party and go with cash. I've found that the lowest prices are found at Dennis Dillon. Their price is a good for a baseline for negotaiting with other dealers.
