Trade-In?

Trade-In?
Hello!
I'm in the Los Angeles area and ordered my MINI a couple of months back from Bob Smith MINI... $1000 over MSRP (yeah, that sucks, but I didn't find these forums until afterwards & everything else I read said that MSRP or higher was becoming the norm for MINIs...). Anyway, my BRG MINI is waiting at the dealer for me, so I was going to pick it up later this weekend. I'd like to trade-in my current car, if possible...
Is there any chance of getting a decent trade-in value for my car?

A good rule of thumb for trade in is take low Kelly Blue book and take $2000 off as a starting point. Then it is up to your persistence and negotiating skills to get more. Some dealers will negotiate and others won't. Also depends on what you are trading in. If an SUV you can forget about getting anything even 1/2 reasonable for it.
