Interesting discussion. When I traded my 2001 Corolla in on a new one the Canadian Red Book value for ir was $5000 retail and $4000 wholesale. However the dealer told me that he would have to spend at least $750 cleaning it up for sale so he offered me only $3250 - $750 off the wholesale price. Is that a valid way to look at tradein value, or did I get screwed?
