BOHICA. You are not going to get a fair trade. You will take it on trade or on the 09. Dealer wants to make money on both ends. Sell it yourself.

Probably offer you 10,000 and put a sticker on it for 15,000. Fair no, but what is?

Sorry, but you will take a bath unless you sell it yourself. They use the blue book value which is complete BS. Just sell it yourself and you will be far better off and have some extra money to customize your new scoot that you will be glad you had.
