Selling privately often brings more money; trading in is easier. Knowing the value helps either way.
Tips
- Look up the value from more than one source
- Get a trade-in offer in writing from more than one place
- Negotiate the new car price separately from the trade-in
- If selling privately, meet safely and accept secure payment
