You gotta remeber one thing with regards to a trade-in..The dealer will pay only what the going rate is at an auction...I never trade, I sell first before I buy...which leads me to why I always maintain my cars in the pristine condition, hence, I get top dollar without haggle in a private sale...

 Sorry my post was so long I was so ticked off I just was writing and sorry it was written so poorly but I do feel better now.

The good news is the service manager called early this morning and there going to send a flat bed truck to pick up my H3 and put a new battery in it and check for any other problems it may have and make it right, and they are bringing a loaner.

The $98,000.00 was the money I owed on the trade in vehicle and the two new Hummers - by the way the 06 Yukons do not hold there value so almost $18,000.00 was to pay off my trade and the taxes of corse.  The vehicles ran about $43 and $35 thousand.

Denny, I am right there with you!  I have always sold our vehicles myself for this very reason. And usually due to the condition that I have kept them in (plus an extra professional detail that I invest in right before it goes on the sale block) and my usually lower mileage - I have always luckily sold them almost immediately and gotten top $ for them! With exception to my last sale of the jeep that is.  Dealer wanted to give me $5K for a book valued jeep of $13K so I said FORGET IT and bought the Hummer...on the Internet and AutoTrader she went..took me 3 mos (and a RAPIDLY decreasing book value rate lol) to sell due to the vast amount of jeeps out there for sale here and the fact that we were at the height of $3.00/gal gas prices...finally sold her but still got 4K more than Hummer was willing to give me.

I knew I could get a bit more out of it on a private sale, but anything you use as trade-in in TN comes off the bottom line price of the new truck..   $30,000 truck, $5700 trade-in = $24,300 sale..  You only pay tax on $24,300 rather than $30,000...  $2247 rather than $2775 taxes...  I might have got another $500 out of it, but I doubt it and didn't have to deal with tire kickers etc...    Had it been worth $10 - $15,000, the difference would have been even greater on the tax thing...
