I want to trade, but my understanding of what the broker told me is that the dealer would not be taking in my trade, and I had to handle it separately, selling it myself. If I go this route, the deal given to me is not anything special since I am missing out about $1,226 in tax savings.
What’s the discount vs the tax savings?
That’s just part of the equation when you do out of state deals. So, in your situation it may not make sense to go the out of state route.
about 9% discount on a 95K MSRP, but I do see that some in the Northeast offer 12% discount before incentives
So…
Option 1: Save $1226 in taxes + $8100 in discounts
Option 2: Save $0 in taxes + $10800 in discounts
Obviously option 2 is better assuming that you can get the same price to sell the car vs a trade in.
Did you get bids from all the usual buyers?
There’s almost always someone overpaying for trades/sales. Recently it was Driveway but you’ll never know until you collect them all.

Currently working a deal:
95K MSRP BMW
11.5K discount
2.5K incentives
It does have 1.5K in fluff, but one of the items is tints $399, which I was going to get anyway, so will ask for removal of rest.
Good deal?
