Dealers use auction pricing for the most part on trade in values, so they know that they will get thier money back out of thier cars when they go to the block. manhiem is the big auction most cars go to so thats what we use. and it is also who publishes those black books. here are the auction prices jeff for the last week. realistically, i see you getting anywhere between 4750-5500 on a trade in,
