did you negotiate your trade WITH your new car purchase? if so that would explain it somewhat but this doesn't make much sense to me. people that don't want to buy new cars out of principle tend not to leave logic at the dealership front door.
"[S]tandard 4k-6k mark-up"? Uhh, yeah.

Try 'them' selling my car for $43K [making $3K] which is still almost $4K less than the still-current 330i with the same equipment [step, PP, SP, CWP, comfort access, parktronic, auto shades, Sirius,CD changer, etc.].

Edmunds shows my car [as equipped] at $43,000 for Certified Used and $38,500 for Private Used - well within the range of the numbers I am talking about.

Like I said, even if it’s $1-1.5K or so more, so what? Well worth it to me.
