I’m trying to figure out how much our GTP is worth on a trade in.

2000 Grand Prix GTP Sedan; 78,000 miles; leather; CD;

Kelley Blue Book & Edmunds says $5500-$6000, but the NADA book has $8375 for trade. Why is NADA so much higher? I’ve always kind of gone with KBB.

Well they’re offering 8500 trade/allowance, which would make it $5100 for my car and invoice for the Jeep, or however you want to look at it (5500 trade & 400 over invoice, etc).

I should just sell it on my own but it’s a pain.

get trade in value first  
negotiate price on desired vehicle second (if they low ball you, you low ball them back).  
Every dealer will pretty much sell any car for $200-$500 over invoice right now.

Negotiate higher trade value  
drive away
