Thanks to all of you for your comments.
I had her read them too.

To finish up the story:
She went to two more dealers. They were all the same, essentially, when it came to pricing the Willys Jeep to her specifications. The "dealing" happened with the trade in. She decided to stay with one dealer who negotiated on the trade, and she got them to agree not to have to re-appraise it even though they've got to wait two months for the new Jeep to come. They just asked her to keep the mileage reasonable and she agreed. She commented that alot of the salesman seemed lazy and not knowledgeable about the "product".

I was surprised to get a call one day last week...she was in a dealers finance office and she just wanted to run the numbers by me and she was ready to sign. I was proud of her for doing this deal by herself.
So, she's happy and I think she did alright.

Thanks,
Dave
