    Normal times (LOL) they give a price based on what the truck is at that time, estimated mileage when the new one arrives.
    Sometimes they gain a little, some time they lose a little.

    Right now a trade is based on you giving them the truck today.

    When I asked about this they would give amount and then take whatever off per mile.

    Call their bluff? If they’re smart they’d cut that $1500 check and move on to the next person.

    They're out $0 and they've probably got 10 people lined up to buy it.

    I’d say that’s low. I got my truck from a smaller dealership and he had a list about 30 people long. He said he could sell my new truck in less than an hour.

    Volvo might not have raised the prices but they certainly can deliver a truck on time. My company ordered around 40 new volvos to be delivered by the end of October last year. The FIRST 4 showed up last week. Nearly a year late.
