No problem. The benefit to this is almost all on the seller's side so, in my opinion, he should be accommodating and minimize any extra expense incurred. He's realizing both a tax savings and probably getting more selling to you than they offered him on trade. Depending on the price of the car you're buying and the one he's buying, he could be netting a benefit of $3000, $5000 or more. Because of that, he should make it convenient and at no extra expense to you than you'd pay otherwise. I even covered the doc fees in addition to the inspection for my buyer once in the past. When you're realizing thousands in savings by doing it this way, it doesn't hurt to be nice to your buyer for agreeing to the courtesy trade request. I did have one guy think it was some sort of elaborate scam and it took some explaining, and he called the dealer's F&I to make sure it was on the up and up but... at the end of the day it worked out. Oh yeah... some dealers call it an in-and-out, as well.
