The stealer told me that with the lift tires Trailer hitch on they would only give me 3500$ for my libby on trade but if I returned it to stock they would give me 6000$ for it on trade!!!! WTF They say the lift would scare potential buyers away.



Lifts are a huge liability for dealers. Most won't deal with them on a new car and on used, there's a concern on reconditioning the trade for resale.

I can understand that concerning the lift and oversized tires....but what the heck does the trailer hitch got to do with resale or liability. Trailer hitches are usually considered a trade-in asset.......

Some think that if they see a trailer hitch it means that it has towed 20,000 lbs every day of its life and the tranny is ready to drop dead.

Good point Tom, I guess it's more of an asset on a new vehicle than a used one..... :idea:
