Well, using that OTD number, you're including probably about $3500 in sales tax on the front end, and if you traded into a dealer for $30+ you're leaving roughly out $2500 in sales tax you won't pay on the trade in value on your new car. Throwing in that $6k (approximately, depending on your sales tax rate) makes it a bit more palatable.
