Trade in value
What do you do think a 17 F-250 diesel 4x4 with xlt premium package and 27 thousand miles is worth for trade in? I want to have a number in mind when we negotiate my next order. It’s in excellent condition and still under warranty.

I'm calling BS on this supposed price.... that's a ridiculously good deal.

In my experience, take the trade in value and subtract about 15%. This get's you closer to wholesale. Your dealer may be different, but this is what they offer around here. It's always a hard sell to get the book "trade" value.

Go look at KBB and Edmond, aways a good start. As is Cargurus to see recent sales prices. Going to CarMax and seeing what they will get you in writing is always nice when you are sitting at the desk starting trade in value talks. Establishes the floor for you knowing worst case. Plus its free, quick and easy.

This has been my experience as well. I was looking at newer truck a couple weeks ago where they low balled me roughly $10K. I litterly laughed out loud in the salesmans face and walked out the door. This is why I have found you waste way less time working it over email or text when it comes to vehicle purchasing.

It may very well be that dealers figure there is big demand for the revised truck with the new drivetrains. One way to "raise the price" is to offer way less for the trade-in.
May be best to hold off for awhile and let things cool off.
