If they know there is a trade involved they can pad the numbers to ensure they make theirs on the vehicle you are trading in. so talk new car price then know how much your trade is worth via NADA and then talk overall total that way you know exactly how much you are getting on everything you are doing.
So for example the car is 30 and you settle on 32 OTD then you talk trade and get 7k but you owe 8k. it should be the 32k + 1K = 33k OTD. now that is the simplified way of doing it but there is nothing hidden in that equation unlike the paperwork they do.

ok, you're all forgetting one important factor: a used cars selling price is not bsed on how much it's nada or kbb is,,,it's based on how much the dealership gave the person they bought it from. you may very well be able to find a base model cheaper, but if they payed $29,000 for it, $30,000 IS low for them. They probably gave that customer all the money for it, the same way you want all the money for your cobalt.
plus, zs are holding their value like crazy because of the low supply. even though it is a base model, it only has 1000 miles, making it one of the moct valuable used base zs out there lol
