Trading in a car when "right side up?"

I'm looking to unload the Boxster S soon and I think I'll get something smaller, cheaper, more practical for a city runabout. I've had a Smart Fortwo and Fiat 500, so my next target is likely a used Mini Cooper S.

I'm wondering how dealers feel about taking a car in trade that's worth more than the car they're selling. I know Carmax would have no problem with it, but their prices on something as popular as a Mini are laughable compared to actual Mini dealerships, which is saying something. Has anyone done this with a regular franchise dealer? How did it go?
