Answer
Hey, Duke of Earl

I don't want to give you a half assed answer , I want to make sure I understand your question fully if you care to reply.

1,,, the dealer got the Benz and want $2000. plus your trade, and will finance that amount ?

2,,, What is the asking price for the Benz.?

3,,, You want the Benz,,, and figure a good deal - even trade ?
