ridge, the local dealer charged me $500 to rig the 150 4S on the V. i had already taken the old one off, had the side rod boxes out, tank hatch off, etc. can't really see it taking more than 3 hours, but they charged me for 6. they did an excellent job and after dropping $11,500, what's another $300. i would think rigging yours would be similar.
you need to do whatever makes you feel right. i think both of you thought you were getting a good value. i would think a dealer would be the last person to get snookered on a trade in. that being said, you want to keep a good relationship with this dealer.
if both of you were valuing the trade at $500, you could give him the cash, take the motor and all of the rigging, cables wiring harness, control box, etc. and throw them up on craigs list. be kind of a pia but you would probably get most of the $500 back. it would be a very kind gesture on your part and probably more than called far.
