Would you trade two cars for one with a cars salesman?

I have too many cars and will move in a few days. I need a pickup truck to help move. I have a 97 Jeep and 88 Mercedes that I want to trade for a 97 Ford 150. The 88 Mercedes is has been garage storage (looks new as if it was 1988). The Jeep needs a muffler but runs good. Who would come out on top? Good idea?

That depends on what numbers you're looking at.
The Merc is 27 years old. That's all they'll look at. An 18 year old Jeep is worth loose change.

No one can tell you whether it's a good deal or not because no one here can see and examine the F150. While you're trading two old vehicles for one, the pick-up you would be trading for is almost 20 years old as well…

What model Mercedes? An '88 190E 2.3 is worth a lot less than an '88 560SL for example.

No. What would I want a car salesman for? The dealership always comes out on top. They are in business to make a profit, not to do nice things for people.

Anytime you trade with a dealer you lose thousands in value.

While its possible to trade 2 for one, you are still going to lose a lot of value.

Sell these cars yourself.
