Looking for trade advice

I currently have a ACE - thinking about moving to a diesel. My question - i still owe on the ACE, but could pay it off if desired. Is it wiser to pay off the ace - and attempt to sell it privately, or just leave it with a outstanding payoff balance and trade at a dealer? Just looking for advice. Thanks

Depends on how fast you want the transaction to happen. Paying it off will help you sell it faster as you have title in hand. Trading it...just make sure THEY pay it off promptly. Trading will cost you about 25-40% of the retail value but it's quick and painless...other than the back pocket. Selling it will bring you more. If you do trade it...DO NOT MENTION IT until you have your new deal on the diesel...it's one of the first questions they will ask you..."do you have an RV now?"..."is this your first RV?"...they're probing you for a trade if you have one so they can "cook the books" and make the most money on both units. They're also trying to find out how "onto the dealer game" you are to the games they play. Play stupid and "Get Smart" just at the End Game.
