That was just a screenshot from caranddriver. I found a fancier one earlier that used Black Book but don't remember the site. Maybe I'll call tomorrow and see if they will match VinSmart (or any site). We talked about my trade-in for probably 10-15 minutes while I was there and pretty much...

I had not heard of this and sounds very interesting although a bit difficult to pull off. I'll have to explore this and see if I can find a buyer.

That looks interesting although I'm not a huge fan of paying for info that I'm seemingly getting free from other sites. For example the image I attached says it uses the black book value as well. I should also mention, I custom ordered this car and am its only driver, so I know it hasn't been in...

I always give the VIN or license plate + state but don't upload photos. I live in NY so Subarus are a very popular vehicle around here. Thank you for all this info. Just went through those sites you provided and was offered these prices: carmax: $21,000 givemethevin: $17,947 - $19,954 Carvana...

Probably beating a dead horse here, but still struggling to wrap my head around the discrepancy of my trade-in value. Almost every site I use gives me a value between $21k and $24k. The only one comparable to what the dealers are saying is carfax which gives me a value of $19,670. For...

When I asked, the salesperson just said if it is a mistake, they will likely give a discount when the truck comes in. But please do report back with what you find!

I asked about this last night at the dealer. The salesperson printed me off the description of both the Elite Package and the Level 1 Equipment group. The HK system was said to be in both, but adding the Elite package did not adjust the price of L1 group. Based on what Eighty said, I'm guessing...

This is my dilemma right now, accepting their trade in price or hoping that carmax will offer a higher buy price once the truck comes in. I guess I don't have to make that decision today and can just order the truck if I want to. Either way, I'm likely coming in $3k+ short on the original...

Tough pill to swallow was probably the wrong phrase there. I more meant that I came up with an ideal and what I thought was realistic purchase plan but discovering that it was pretty far off doesn't feel great. The extra $3k isn't a huge deal, just not what I had my heart set on.

Just got back from the second dealer and they offered me $19,200 for my trade and said it should be a similar value when the truck comes in. Much better than the estimated $16k from the first dealer but still pretty disappointing that it's ~$2300 below what I was expecting. Not sure why the...

That makes me feel a lot better. Was hoping to get the truck around April. Dealer was adamant that it would be 8 months and didn't believe me when I mentioned this forum with several people getting them in 3-4 months. In hindsight, this is probably what I should have done and said at the dealer...

I completely understand that they estimated a lower future price. I was more trying to call out how far their today trade-in value was from what my car is actually worth. They offered to let me buy a 2022 Limited they had on the lot today for the same trade-in price. To me it just made no sense...

Also, the dealer told me not to expect my truck for 8-10 months if I did order. There's no way that's right, is there? Based on posts I've seen here, I was expecting closer to ~4 months.

I got a cash offer through carmax and carvana, both were around $21k. The appraisal from the dealer 3 days ago was $21,500 and told me I could probably get $22k if I really pushed. Dealer today told me cars value was $19k and estimated by the time my truck came in, it would be worth $16k.

Well, I should have trusted my gut. The dealer tried to under value my trade-in by almost $6k. Even after I pulled out a paper showing I had another dealer appraise my car for a much higher price 3 days ago. Oh well, I have another dealer lined up for Monday who offered me a price of $72,500...

Managed to get a dealer in NY to agree to $72k flat for my build (minus the tonneau cover), even got it in writing. Going to the dealer on Saturday to place the order and get my trade-in appraised. Hoping they don't try to get that money by some other means 🤞

The Elite trim also includes the Bed Utility Group and I thought should include the Harman Kardon system although none of the pricing reflects that. I need to confirm that with a dealer. I planned on adding the tailgate so thought the Elite trim was worth the price since adding the tailgate and...

It looks like if I get the Elite Package, I am locked into the Sea Salt. Changing it to the leather-trimmed auto removes the Elite Package. When I go to the dealer to order, I will try to sit in one of each see which I like. Maybe the dealer has an option to override the seat selection?

I'm in NY, about 1370 miles from MD and they told me $1.25/mile when I talked to them last week. So based on all of these replies (thank you all again), in my case it makes more sense to just go with local. The truck ends up being roughly the same price and it removes the headache of having to...

Ok, probably another silly question with something I'm not fully understanding: I just spoke with a local dealer and they informed me since I wouldn't be trading in my current car to MD, I'd be "losing" out on ~$1800 in tax savings. This combined with the delivery fee which I'm estimating to be...
