They offer wholesale value, which is $3,000- $8,000 less than market value. This is done so they can sell your trade-in and make a profit. Dealers make it appear they are giving you a lot for your trade-in, but don\u2019t be fooled. They are shuffling dollars around, charging you MSRP, or higher interest, or piling on wasted extras like rustproofing, paint sealant, and extended warranties. They cry on your shoulder that they\u2019ll get nothing on your trade-in.<\/p><div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-558fb01\" data-id=\"558fb01\" data-element_type=\"column\"><div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\"><div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b4f1800 flex-horizontal-align-default flex-horizontal-align-tablet-default flex-horizontal-align-mobile-default flex-vertical-align-default flex-vertical-align-tablet-default flex-vertical-align-mobile-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b4f1800\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"><div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\"><p>As you cry over their \u201closs,\u201d here\u2019s how they profit from you and the next owner of your trade-in:<\/p><p>Used expedition<br \/>Trade-In Value<\/p><p>Even with \u201cbook\u201d prices, it\u2019s difficult to determine the value of your trade-in, because each car is different.
