What should I hold out for for trade in value?

[Tony T.]

Perhaps if I wasn't such an impulse buyer yes. In thinking more today, I have considered trying to sell the current truck myself, then use the proceeds, but then you have to deal with getting abuyer to pay you, but you can't give them the title till you send the proceeds to the lien holder...



I guess much easier when you own it outright...

The last truck I bought before the 03 Dodge that I bought new was from a individual. It was about a one year old Chevy 4x4 Crewcab and guy still owed around 20K on it to the bank. I made him a offer of 18K cash and he said "yes". We met at the bank to do the deal, he borrowed 2K against his other paid for vehicle for the total pay-off on the Chevy. Then he signed the title over to me. I ended up trading that truck in on current one in my signature.
