What trading in here is worth
In Alberta, GST on a dealer sale is charged on the price minus your trade-in. So trading in at the store you buy from saves 5% of the trade-in's value in tax: on a $15,000 trade-in, about $750. A cash offer for your car from anyone else has to beat the trade-in by that much to leave you better off.
Tax saved by trading in: $750. To beat it, a cash offer must be over $15,750.

A winner is only named for a row when one dealer says something the other doesn't. A store's website not mentioning something doesn't mean it doesn't offer it — ask. This comparison says nothing about prices, how a store treats its customers, or how its service department does the work. For that, read each one's reviews and ask people who've bought there.
