And trading in is so much easier than selling privately.

trading in IS much easier than selling privately,but you will get more for your car IF you can sell it yourself!.it depends on WHAT you have for a trade in! always remember what they offer you for your car ,may,or may not be what the vehicle is actually worth! they will,in MOST cases offer you less than what that final number truly is,so it's in your "best" interests to know what it '"can" be sold for,and try to get close to that.if the dealer really wants your car,THEY will know what that number really is,BUT you have to know what it is too,and try to effect a "compromize" to get full value,IF you are trading the car in. kbb ,and edmunds offer what the car "'should " be worth,(based on condition) BUT there are variables,,and condition,AND demand can skew the numbers,so,in the final analysis,it depends on what someone is willing to pay for the car that really determines it's TRUE value. just sayin'
