What's a better deal?

I can pick up a 2010 IV with the Solar pckg for $27720 + TTL or a 2010 IV no options for $25235. + TTL. Both prices have the $1000. rebate included and both also have floor mats.

A trade in on the more expensive one I was quoted $9000. for my truck which is about $2000. lower than KBB & Edmunds say. The other offer I don't have a trade in price yet but they have all my truck info.

Those prices seem good but if they lowball me on my trade then they get a better deal? Should I bite for one or the other deal if the trade in amts are the same or try for more on my truck?

Thanks for any insights on this.

 

I agree with you, not having to deal with trading a vehicle in is the best way to go. That's normally what I would do but circumstances dictate I trade the truck this time. I've had it for sale but haven't had any bites and am afraid I'll miss out on the deals for the 2010's.

Of course extra cash from a private sale would make up for that and I'd get an '11. Unless I had to wait till summer for a sale and fuel prices rise then no one would want the truck and dealers would be asking premiums for the Prius. Oh the humanity!!!!

 

My car is out there somewhere it's just my trade in that's complicating things for me. I'm like fritzlouise above and hate to just give stuff away to the dealer. I hope I don't wind up doing that.
