Bought a new Sedan, now I want the 3 door liftback.

[Dec24th]

what if I Trade it in and then get a certified pre owned liftback valued at $13k. My trade in value for my 2010 would be about $13k--modest estimate.
I would owe less than what I currently owe?

Honestly, I've wondered about this a little too. My car is paid off though. But just wondering how dealers would react to essentially an even trade, or possibly even a scenario where my trade-in value is slightly higher than their asking price (in the case of used hatchbacks, for example). Or in the case of new cars, wondering how open they would be to negotiating close to my trade-in value. I'm nowhere near actually doing this, but it has floated around in my head sometimes...
