Yeah trade ins normally go for less than dealers sell them for, be sure to check truecar.com to see what people around you are paying, and go to the dealership with max and min price in mind, and then negotiate away. Always good to deal with a few dealers at one time, so you have more bargaining room and flexibility, then you can compare which dealer gives you the best OTD price/vehicle you want, and go with them. Good luck.
