Ok I am curious as to what you do that you can work for free and afford “not to rip anyone off”? I know I sure like to make money so I must be ripping others off too? Phooey on anyone that has an investment, overhead, staff and their families to feed, etc they are all out to get the world!!

Black Book means squat. Being in the car dealership industry for 10 years I know that trading in a car is the worst thing you can do. Obviously try to sell it yourself first, have a bit of patience and it will be worth it. Never mention a trade until you work out the price of the vehicle that you want to buy. The best time to sell a sports car is in Feb, March and April anytime before and after that and you miss the season.

C7 of the Year - Unmodified Finalist 2021
Hey guys.So i went to a dealership in hamilton undecided if i should trade in my 05 z51 vette for a car i can drive all year long.I won't get into what dealership i went to or what car i am considering.Anyway my vette has 43000k,has gmpp extended warrenty until nov.2010.I have acorsa exhaust,etc........The manager comes and tells me before i even want a test drive that the best he can do is offer bet.20-22 thousand.To be honest guys, i was insulted.Even gary the car salesman was shocked.Funny thing is when i pulled up to the dealership more than half of the employees were asking all kinds of questions about it.They all loved the vette.I ws actually flattered...............I obviously told the manager that i would never consider such an offer and left without even considering any test drives.................

On my recent 2007 C6 trade I was quoted a difference of 50% between low and high by dealers so guys definitely shop around.

Thats business. They buy low and sell high. Huge overhead at dealerships and vetted are seasonal sales. Don't take it personally. Take your business elsewhere.
Like someone said above, they didn't want your car ( for whatever reason) or they would've offered more.
My 2 cents
