Offer for my 05 MR at dealership

Today I went in to trade my Evo at a Dodge dealership. I have a 05 GG MR with only 8,800 miles on it. They offered my 20,000 for it on trade in. I almost punched the guy right in the face. Someone tell me I am right in thinking this idiot is lowballing me. Just to let you know I picked up my keys and walked off as soon as I saw that number.

The dealer will low ball you as much as they can.You will be better off selling it to a private party.My friend took in a 06 EVO MR w/15,000 K and they only gave the guy I think it was 25,500 for the car.

Go back to the dealer and say you are sorry, it looks like they were right on the money.

Can there really be that big of a difference.......I was hoping to a least get 26-27. This is what I was thinking prior to going in.

I am sorry but KBB is so over inflated and the only time a dealer will use it is when they are trying to sell you a car and use it to their advantage. You need to look at what edmunds, blackbook and what the cars bring at the auction. Dealers look at auction prices all the time and will check it before offering a trade in value on yours.

Just sell the car yourself with the low miles you should be able to get around 24k for it.

An Evo with 8k on it is a dependible car. I have an 03 with nearly 85k and Id drive it to Cali and back without a second thought.

You'll never get 26-27k for it private
