I think you may have it all wrong. Dealers pay VERY LITTLE for a trade
in. On paper, it may appear that way, but in reality they usually get
them for nothing or close to it.

Example:

Let's say I'm a dealer and I have a car that I bought at the wholesale
auction. 1992 Cadillac Eldarado with 129K on the odometer. I paid $2,885
for the car and it books (NADA) for $7,200. I put it on my lot for
$7,200 and you come in with your average condition 1992 SHO and want to
trade for the Caddy. I tell you that I'll give you $3,500 for the
average SHO in trade. You pay me $3,700 and your SHO as a trade. I made
$815 and got your car for FREE.
