Any truck dealers that will take equipment in as a trade?

[Edgemaster]

I need an isuzu npr style landscape truck. The maintenance side of my business has picked up alot this year while the landscape jobs have slowed down some. I would like to trade in my 2006 Bobcat s175 and my 600 gallon hydroseeder towards a new or used truck. Do any of you know of any dealers that might do something like this? I'm in NC but am willing to travel to make the deal. Thanks

Usually you're better off dumping the stuff private party on Craigslist or Ebay. The dealer is gonna stick it to you on the trade so that they KNOW they can make money on it, even if it means wholesaling it or putting it on Ebay. Don't limit yourself to dealers, you can buy a cheap box truck private party and take off the box and have a body made if need be.

Unfortunately, he is right. If you trade in you will take a beating, stuff isn't selling very well right now unless it is a super buy.
