Tips on Trading In for different brand! ie. trading a BMW for a Benz
 

Hi, I'm interested in trading in my car but I always worry that I'll get a bad trade in value if I switch brand. Also, how about buying car of a different brand in a dealership, like getting a Benz in a Honda dealership? Will I get crappy services & finance rates?How about extended warranties?

Thanks, I'm a noobie in buying cars.

A few things,

1, clean your car good
2, finish the price talk, BEFORE letting them know you are trading in a car
3, dont focus on the trade in value, focus on the difference you need to make up for.

wow, i didnt know that u have to finish price talk before telling that u'r trading. Are they more likely gonna give u a lower value?

It may be hard to finish the price talk first without lying to them. Because they will ask you straight up if you have a trade in, and if you say no, they'd be pissed to find out that you do afterwards and lowball your trade in.
