4. I have been offered 39.1k from Acura dealer on trade but the car they had wasn't to my liking (looked good in pics).

5. Sales tax is a major factor in trading versus private. $40k private sale is the same as getting $37,600 in trade.

6. Why did I want to buy the 2017? Comp pack and 17 months warranty plus better color combo would have been worth it to me for 10k (meaning 38k on my trade).

I walked out and they did not even try the wait a minute let's see what we can do routine.
Can you explain number 5 further? How is that so? I'm selling mine privately but if that's true, I might just go for the highest offer I got on a trade at my local dealership.

When you trade in you get a credit for the value on your trade-in on taxes.
