If you're realistic with the value then you can make it work.
I value mine at $20k. It's insured for $25k. The XE is $23k sell price, I imagine they paid $18k for it. Give or take.
So I figured mine at $18-20k ( they'd ask $25k on the floor ) and $20-22k for the XE ( still means $2000+ profit for them I feel ) means it's pretty much swap for swap, maybe I cough up $2k. Then I pay shipping of one here, they pay shipping of one there, they turn their stock over ( the XE has been there for a while ) and it's a fairly clean deal.
They valued mine at $16k, so shipping, the difference between the two ( they still want the $23k for the XE ) and I give them $10k.
L.O.L.
