Make sure you know the second hand value of your car. Take a few quotes from elsewhere. I tried to trade in through my SA and they take my car for 3K less. In the end, I sold mine to another used car dealer.

so they agree to take your car only after you receive your forte? but they will pay you first right?

I let a few used car dealer see my car then take a quotation. Tell them you can only pass them the car after you get your Forte. (price might differ a few hundred depending on when you get your Forte). Of cos they won't pay you yet , they will only pay you the very same day you pass them your old car.

If your Sa used car dealer give more or less the same price, then sell to the Sa dealer . Then you don't have to fork out downpayment. In my case , i don't mind paying for the d/p first as the price diff is 3k. I got my Forte, then the very next day, I sold off my old car.

Hope that helps.
