Well worth the couple hundred bucks lost in sales tax savings and you can shop multiple dealers for your new car knowing you don’t have to negotiate the trade with every single one of them. It also opens up options buying from private sellers who don’t have the capability of taking your trade.
All of this is great because I’m pretty sure I was going to throat punch the next sales guy who tried to tell me “manuals are too hard to sell.”

You're correct, I can get MMR if you want,blackbook is always too high and not used nor is KBB outside of Cali. I know some people. 99% of dealers pay rough trade, but I got average for my last car which is decent. Whoever said that is dumb, manuals are hot items since there aren't many models left that offer them
