Default [OT] trading in your car

I'll make it quick as this is sorta off-topic:

Has anyone ever traded in a car that was valued higher than the car you bought. In other words, did you wind up with the dealer actually owing you
money, instead of the more normal method of you owing them money?

If so, how was it handled?

Default You fair worse than if you traded in a car of lesser value (my dad did this with Benz)

They give you a refund check...but they will rape you even more so in the case of a trade worth more than the new car. They will do everything they can to get you to do an even trade (if that).

Yup, they'll try to make it even and it'll beat the purpose of trying to save money w/ a cheaper car

Default Amen to that!!! ......

They either want you to give them your car, or they don't want anything to do with you. And I wrote the dealer (and VWoA) a letter to that effect!!! Do you think I got any sympathy??? NO! I was NOT pleased. (I tried to trade my A4 in on a Jetta.)
