I don't understand why people trade in cars or try to sell to dealers...they always get terrible value. Even if you price it low, you'll pretty much always get more for a car in a private sale than what a dealer will give you.
It's like people trying to sell something on Pawn Stars. That dealer is in the business of making money...so he's not going to buy something unless there's a way to make money off of it on some level. Even if he turns around and gives you a supposed better deal on a new car, you've give him all your lost profits on the used one.
I guess it's a lot more convenient to sell to the dealer, but people are walking away from thousands of dollars for that convenience.
