well aint that a .......guess you got me there.....when the slick customer comes in with some of the advice from the forum and negotiates their best deal and then "springs" the GMID on the dealer, all that happened was they wasted time....or "get your best deal and then bring in the trade"..another waste of time...trades are worth what they are worth...dealers sometimes give an allowance which is the same as a discount off the price...so when the price is already set, there is no disount so, lets see, how do i say this.....oh yeah, the trade is worth what the trade is worth...there may be some shady salesmen out there, but i promise for every lie a salesman tells, the customer tells 3.....sorry, i know it hurts, but fact is fact....

Well I personally have been in situations where the dealer would inflate the price of my trade in, in the attempt to make me feel happier because he "couldn't" discount the price of the car.

If this situation were to present itself, or the opposite, then I think it would be in my best interest to first negotiate the price of my car, so I know what it was worth in a totally unbiased way... then let them know I planned to use GMID, IF they were to allow me to even use it.

But just my 2cents

ok i will try it another way...if you get 3,000 off the sticker and are happy with your negotiation, and then pull out your GMID certificate, you do not get the 3,000 off of that, YOU GET WHAT IS PRINTED ON THE INVOICE listed as the SUPPLIER price....so hiding the gmid or the trade or the bad credit or the my dad is a salesman or anything else DOES NOT DO ANYTHING FOR YOU......

I think you are totally missing my point. I am not talking about getting any money off of sticker. I am trying to make sure that the dealer ISN'T playing with ANY of the numbers whether it be on my car or the new car... In past car dealings, the value of my trade, according to the dealer, seems to fluctuate worse than Britney Spears personalities.... so I don't think my questions and simple asking for advice is so far fetched.

SO I want to have them value my trade before any negotiations are done on the car.

I think that is very simple and easy to understand. Not sure why this is upsetting you so much?!

P.S. I have excellent credit and my daddy isn't a salesman... no need for the attitude man, we are/were simply chatting in here till you got all upset. Simply looking for the best deal possible and trying to get advice, not criticism.
