[QUOTE="Iamchris, post: 15303416, member: 21687"] LOL. Well, fortunately most of us (I say most because some people live very remotely with very limited options) have options when it comes to what we buy and who we buy it from. The business is rife with sleeze, and if you aren't on guard you will probably get taken. The appraiser is probably using a pretty common tactic when it came to appraising your vehicles and valuing their own, i.e. he was adding value to their side the negotiation... but as the seller(trade-in), you are responsible for knowing what your truck is worth and what you will accept for it. You are also responsible for knowing what the planned purchase vehicle is worth, and should be pretty studied on what the dealership can afford to negotiate to. You also should have a BATNA, knowing that if this negotiation fails you have other options. Do not let them suck you into their vacuum, keep you sitting their for hours, and make you feel isolated and like you are at their mercy. As I said previously though, in ideal circumstance any dealership that starts gaming you should be quickly evacuated. You can expect that a dealership run in this way is going to operate across the board in the same way. It is the sleezy way to increase profit margin. TLDR? Learn to negotiate, find another dealership. Yes. That doesn't apply to you because you moved on already... but hell, if you have the room, you can also choose who you do business with too. [/QUOTE]
