Learned a neat deal when I traded in a beat-up Civic at a Honda dealership for a CrossTrek they had on the lot & got more than the Civic was worth tbf. Note for future purchases - look for my used Tacoma at a Subaru dealership when the time comes! 😄

How did you get a fair trade in? My experience has been that you basically need to go to the same manufacturer to get the best deal. I have a GMC, so GM dealers offer good trade ins. Others, nope.

I'd like to OWN a Tacoma next, so I was saying I should hope there's one for sale at a Subaru dealership when the time comes to trade in my CrossTrek. 😁

That's the bit, basically. 🫤 I traded a Honda at a Honda dealership, so I got more for the [POS]. I wouldn't have received nearly as much at a Subaru dealer, for example. (The CT was a used car on the Honda dealership's lot.)
