Correct. I've done most of the jobs in the front end of a dealership including finance and sales manager. When a salesman comes to the desk to work a deal they are expected to know certain things including if there is a trade and how much is owed on it. Most of the time there is a trade and there is a balance owed that is higher than the trade value. Often the shopper will try and lie and say they are not trading. It's up to the salesman to find out the truth.
The reason the dealer doesn't do that with you is that they can recognize a qualified buyer who isn't there to dream or waste anyone's time. I would say most on this forum are that type of buyer. But there are plenty of shoppers who come throught the door who are the opposite.
