I would suggest, if looking for the best deal, to sell your vehicle privately/elsewhere and coming back to the dealer that has the vehicle you want with cash in hand. "Cash is king". You will have the most bargaining power with cash, you essentially will have none with a trade in. They are not going to want to turn away a fist full of cash; blue book and a saturated used market means they can look for the best price on your trade in however.

Just my two cents.
