I've tried searching, but didn't find any discussions around this topic.
So, I'm very comfortable walking into a dealership to negotiate the price of a vehicle on the lot, and also negotiating the trade-in value on my vehicle.
However, I've never ORDERED a new vehicle before, but I'm signed up with TL.org for the "1% Below Invoice" pricing, plus I found a couple other incentives/rebates to help with the negotiation of the new vehicle's price. However, since the ordering process seems to be taking 4-6 months, and the market seems to keep fluctuating, how can I get a read on which local dealer will offer the best offer for my current vehicle's trade-in value? Most say they cannot lock in a value, and I understand, the value may remain close or drop dramatically in the coming months, but I don't want to order a new JLU if the valuation may not be favorable once the new vehicle arrives.
I'm currently driving a 2021 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk with the 5.7, Panoramic Sunroof, Rock Rails, etc and it only has 11,500 on the odometer right now. I decided that if I'm going to spend $500/month, I'd rather be paying for a JLU as my daily driver, and the plan would be to own it long-term unless there is some REALLY cool new technology out in the coming years.
Any advice on how to get a solid valuation on my current vehicle in this ordering process?
