I found a 350 with 94k miles priced for 11k but my 250 is worth about 11k as of now according to kbb trade in. What would the dealer do if I trade it in? Obviously they want to make money and since I don't have the time to sell it on my own, would they accept the trade? Has anyone experienced something like this before?

What's the miles on your current 250?

There is often a trade in value as well as one if you sold the car outright. Just go by the dealer and see what they will tell you. Only they can answer your question. Good luck.

Dealer won't give you much. Try selling it independently or as mentioned already Carmax if you absolutely can't sell it on your own.

11k for a 350 with only 94k miles is an amazing deal by the way.

DEALERS ARE STEALERS!!!
Hate to say that I hate car dealers,... they're whole role in life is to give you the worst deal, and get the best deal for themselves. they go to training on how to rip you too with a smile on their face!.
You always feel like a hooker after dealing with them, cause you always feel like you've just been been f*#k!!!!....lol
Try selling it on craigslist, you'll be amazed at how many people want an IS and will pay top dollar for a good one and guarantee you'll get more than what the stealer/dealer will offer you ,
Its not hard or take much time,... the buyer comes to you, and at your convenience.

Dealer will alway offer you $3000 less then value. If worth $11,000 they'll offfer you $8000. I think you can sell it for $10k.

What year is the 350? Are our cars (especially the 350) worth more than what kbb says. I have an 07 with 87k miles and kbb lists it right around 11.5 for private party seller. I keep seeing them online and on forums going for more with more miles too...

They'll lowball you around $5000-$6000 for the price of the trade in I would think

So that they can price the car around 11 and make good coin off the sale

Does the dealer really even want it? I'm hearing that with a defective (don't ride in the front right seat) air bag problem they don't want them on trade-in. They claim they can't resell them.

Why dont you just finance the 350. Put your 250 up for sale. Then just pay off the 350 in one shot once the 250 sells
