They go by the auction prices to not lose money on trade in's. They do not want to give you say 6 grand for a trade in on a car when they are selling for only 3 grand at auction. You need to realize that dealers do not always put all the trade in's on the lot for sale. Or they will only sit on a used car for a period of time. If it does not sell it will go to auction where they hope to recoup the money they paid for it. This is why they go by auction prices when they can. My wife works for a dealer and that is why I know this.
