If he got that much on a trade you can bet they nailed him on the new one. Trades are a shell game and they don't buy used cars for the same price they sell them for.

As for trade-in values, it depends on the region. Around here, where it is dry as a bone, the opinion of the eco is pretty good. You still get the overall POS ford opinion though.

First off I'm not your son.. but my bad, you posted it on the internet thus it has to be true! Too bad Toyota went out of business due to the 5.2+ million vehicles they had to recall, no one would buy any of their vehicles anymore and they couldn't trade them in because it was only a matter of time before word got out to the dealer community.

Let's keep focused here, and show a little thought before posting some pettifogging crap.
Revenue ¥1.583 trillion (2012)[1]
Operating income ¥355.62 billion (2012)[1]
Profit ¥283.55 billion (2012)[1]
Total assets ¥30.650 trillion (2012)[1]
Total equity ¥10.550 trillion (2012)[1]
They may someday decide to GET out of the business but with this kind of cash, they won't be GOING out of business

I'm sure you and I have traded enough to know the game very well... What you are shown on a buyers order as purchase price or trade allowance isn't as important as the difference in the two...
Sell price including 2000 rebate 41211
trade 36300
dealer fee +100
+tax and tag
Anyway 5011 plus tax and tag. 2013 stickered for 3265 more than the 2011.
Still seems like a good trade value for a 2 year old truck with 19000 miles. BTY that trade figure is Black book amount.
And they had the trade listed for 40995. Was gone within a week. Dont know what they sold it for.
While I may not have traded enough to know the game very well it still seems that the Ecoboost trade held its value very well which was the original point.
