It doesn't really help too much to know what they are giving you for trade. Relevant facts would include what you are looking at buying and the asking price of the new vehicle. Trade-in numbers are as arbitrary as the deal in which they are involved. The bottom line is the only important number in a dealer auto purchase. If you could supply the make, model, year and price of the vehicle you are looking to purchase, that would help a lot.

$27K in options on the G35 Coupe??? Are you nuts? The car is only 29K to begin with. How in the world could you justify options equal (just about) to the MSRP? I don't even think they have that many options. And that is if you pay sticker.
Besides, nothing compares (non-MB) to the list of MB's you have as your choices. Take the CLK55 and enjoy
That is one sweet ride!
