As for your truck, most dealers use NADA for trade in amounts. NADA tends to be much lower than KBB. Also, nobody is really buying big trucks right now. The market is soft for sports cars and trucks. Good luck!
Just ran the NADA for my truck and it's $17,350. That being said, I paid $19,500 new in December of 06 (it had been on the lot for 8 months).
Also, I live in Houston. This is the truck capitol of the world. If there's a truck with a good price, then there's a buyer. I'm not expecting a lot here, just a good deal. That means a fair price for my trade ($15k is fair. I bought it there, and my family has purchased 3 new vehicles there in the last 4 years) and a good deal on the SRT. A lot of y'all think that $23k is a great deal, but they know they aren't moving the Crossfires. They are selling more Vipers than Crossfires in February. Think about that. They are offering $13k off any Crossfire as the start of the negotiation.
If I bought the SRT at 23k, and they give me $15k for the truck, then that means I'm financing $20k+TTL which is about $21,000 which is roughly $420 a month. I'm not going to do more than $400 a month, which mean $20k out the door. If they sell me the SRT for $22k then they are still going to make several thousand dollars, they are just trying to make 5k+
