Ah! Thanks.

On a trade with a dealer, just figure you'll get back a few year-models older, or you'll have to come up with the difference. A few thou$and difference can be financed very cheaply.

Get what you want. Or love the one you're with.

Used to be that way, Cash on the barrel head, now its juice, any thing over 2% is pure profit. Plus that tax issue. Its the other way now, talk credit first then pull out the cash.
