Working in sales for the last 14 years and knowing several folks in and affiliated with the car industry I've come to appreciate this advice:

"Never sell your car to someone who's business is selling cars, if you can help it. Never buy your car from someone who's business is selling cars, unless a robust warranty is part of the deal (new car, CPO, etc)."

"If you're car is worth so little that you'd take the hit on the trade-in just to be done with it, then you should probably donate it as you will most likely get more in the tax write off. Usually if you want it gone fast you can sell it above what you'd get on trade in yet below what anyone else is selling comparatively in the private market and someone will snap up that deal quickly and you still win."
