Figuring out the actual Joanne's discount made me remember the first time DH and I we were trading in our car for a new one. The orginial trade in price given us by the salesman for our old car was so much that I actually thought we'd be getting the new car for almost nothing. Boy were we naive because after the manager 'checked out' our old car and we practically would have had to pay them to take our old car off our hands. Needless to say we didn't buy a new car from that dealer.
