Trade-In and Order

Z GT said:

I want to trade-in a vehicle (Escape) whenever I get my Mustang, so if they had one on the lot this might me easier. However, I would like to get a GT vert and those are hard to find on a lot.

So, if I order one, how do you trade-in? Do they give you a price for your trade-in when you order, and you keep your current vehicle til yours comes in, or how does this work?

Skip the lectures and advice about selling my current vehicle myself. I know the dealer will give me less that I could sell it for. Trade-in just is more convenient and you don't have to worry about TIMING. That is, being without a vehicle for a while (selling current one too soon) or having 2 vehicles (selling current one too late.)

So, if you are trading-in with your order please let me know how you worked this out.

I worked out my trade-in price up front, along with the sale price of the '05. The paperwork was filled out as if the sale was complete, but I keep my current vehicle until the '05 arrives. My dealer just told me to keep it under xxxxx miles, which isn't going to be a problem. When my GT arrives, the only items in question will be my total downpayment and the final payoff of my current vehicle (both will be more favorable). If you haven't traded in a vehicle before, I recommend you go to the NADA or KBB websites to get an estimate of what your trade-in is worth. Then you'll have a better idea if they are giving you a fair offer.

I think i'll like the Mustang, but also am afraid that I'll miss my Escape on longer trips.
