Yes, normally, most dealers will take two cars on trade for one. However, you must remember that such a deal may not be in your best interests; the dealership will make a offer than includes a profit for the dealership. A two-for-one trade gives the dealer more overhead costs, by having an additional vehicle in his/her used car inventory. And the trade value offered for your vehicles will reflect the dealers overhead costs, and a profit for the dealer.
Really the only reason for you to do this is for your own personal convenience in disposing of the extra vehicle. You should not expect to profit financially in any great way from this arrangement. It may be somewhat more of a hassle to sell the car(s) privately by yourself, but you probably will come out ahead financially if you do.
Dealerships that offer those limited time "come on" offers - where they offer more than your trade is worth ($5,000 for any trade regardless of condition - or similar offers) just to get you to come in and buy new - are not likely to take two vehicles - especially if they consider one or both of them to be worthless.

Yes. I have traded in two cars on the purchase of one new car. However, the price of the new car has to be more than the trade in value of both cars combined. I traded in a truck and a minivan on a luxury sports car, so my payments were really small because of the value of the vehicles I traded.

depends on a lot but if you are asking if you can trade two used cars in and get a new for free I say YOU MUST BE CRAZY. Then guys make money not break even. You would be better off selling the cars publicly then go to get a new car. Car salesman are hustlers never forget that

Probably not. When you trade in a car you get the convenience of the dealer finding a buyer for your car but that come out of your wallet in the end by you getting a lower price. Try and sell the cars yourself then using the money as a down payment on the car you want to buy.
