Question

I could put down a couple of numbers, but that wouldn't help you much. I think the real question is what are you willing to accept for the Lexus?

Most dealers would give you somewhere between fair and good KBB trade.

A dealer will probably give you around 20-21 depending on the mileage. Without knowing what kind of lexus and year/mileage etc its tough to tell. Is the car modded? Is it a lexus that is easy to move? A dealer will look at the tires, condition of the car(dents, scratches etc), mileage, interior, any mods it might have and they will give you enough money for them to buy the car and make any repairs necessary to sell it.

RX 300's are easy to move for a Lexus dealership.

I think you'll be surprised to see the offer they give you, not always the greatest.

They have to leave room to make a profit (That's why they are in business). The question is how much profit? Answer is in who has best negociating skills.

You should expect the blue book wholesale value for yours and about the invoice price for the new one. That's a pretty good starting point in your head. If you weren't able to sell it in the area, they will likely have the same problem and wholesale it out to someplace else. If they give you more for your car to make you happy, they will have to make it up on the new one they sell you.
