You then subtract the range from the trade in price and this will give you what the dealer is actually giving you for your car.
Example $25,000 retail
_ $20,000 trade in
_______________________
= $5,000 price range
Now subtract $20,000 trade in
_ $5000 price range
______________________________
= $15,000 actual dealer wholesale cost
If your trading in your car on a new model you also need to know the bottom line clean cash deal the dealer would sell you the new car for.
You then subtract the wholesale dealer price for your trade, from the lowest clean deal price on the new car, this will give you what the exact cash value of your trade and price of the new car.

I definitely got more than wholesale for my Z06.
Amount owed: 57,800 (Excellent KBB Trade-in is $55,150)
Amount paid for 370Z: $43,500 (Invoice @ $39,000, sticker $43,000+$500 transport)
They MAY have made around a grand or so off of me, but I got my TT&L for free because I traded to a dealer in-state, and in my state, if you don't, you pay TT&L on your new car. Since my old car was worth more than my new one, I paid 0 TT&L. Worth a fair amount. Far more than $1-1500 or so.
