Location: Ft. Wayne Indiana | I get a new(er) truck about every 2-3 years. Two things to remember when you are ready to trade them in or shop for new one.
1. Trade in your vehicle before you "have to".... I traded in my 2004 Ford E-350 with only 40,000 miles on it. It is obvious that I didn't NEED a new vehicle, but I wanted a vehicle. If you have a NICE truck to trade it without a zillion miles on it, your going to be able to get what you want. The sales man knows that you don't NEED a truck and that you simply want a truck. It's all about them at this point...do they want to make a sale, or do they want you to drive away in your perfectly good vehicle...
2. Don't be UPSIDE DOWN on your vehicle when you trade it in. I pay an extra $50-100 a month on my trucks, that way when I trade them in, I am not upside down.
I love shopping for vehicles, just don't put yourself in the position where you NEED a vehicle or then they got you right where they want you!
