Tested my trade in today

Was maybe looking to get into something smaller.

2006 Xterra SE 4x4
8,300 miles
Towing Package
Rockford Fosgate Package
SIRIUS Satellite Radio

I got offered $18k, MAYBE $18.5k if I had really pushed. That would put me under water so I made the right decision for once, and walked away.

The 3 trade-in values I researched for my car, "clean" or "good". Not excellent.

Edmunds: $21810
KBB: $20175
Nada: $20,725

you really have to push to get a decent trade-in value...basically the dealership will "shop" your vehicle to see what others in the area are selling for. Then they will give you an offer based on what they want to make off the top on the re-sale. If you want a good estimate of what the resale value will be use Black Book listing, not Blue Book. That price seems about right to me, granted, you could probably push another thousand or 1.5k, but that going to be about it. it also depends on what you're looking to buy, a dealer is more likely to give you more for a trade then take off money on a new vehicle.
