it depends on how quickly you need the money.

in general, you'll get more money selling privately.

also, certain state tax laws have a trade-in incentive. i believe there's no trade incentive in CA though.

keep this in mind:

when you're ready to purchase the brz at a subaru dealer, the dealer pretty much has the upper-hand on the trade-in value. they know you want to buy the brz especially if you've already pre-ordered. also keep in mind that this car is pretty limited. the dealer really doesn't have any incentive to give you anything more than below market value for your car.
