Just because your car is worth $x on trade does not guarantee that a dealer will pay what you want for it. They only buy trades to mark them up and turn a profit. How much profit exactly depends on their greed. The only way to get the full value back out of your car is to sell it yourself. If you trade it in, the loss you will take is the price you pay for that convenience.
