Selling car privately is an art all on its own... If you want to sell at a high price, you might have to go through a lot of trouble... Not everyone are easy to deal with.. but of course the extra 3 to 4k is a good incentive to sell your car privately...

Selling to dealership is fast and easy if you are buying a new car... you might be able to bargain to the point that it is similar to selling the car privately (of cuz you will have to include that tax that you save on your new car)  However, always remember... don't let them know that you are trading in your car up front.. cuz they will corner you to think that you strike a deal by offering you a bit more on the trade in value... remember... buying a car and trading in a car are two separate transaction... find the car that you want... bargain to a price that is acceptable.. and then tell them that you are trading in your car... there are a lot of information on how to bargain at a car dealership on the internet...

btw.. you might want to check out a site that lists out how much the car dealership will earn on your new car.. so you know the bottom line that you can bargain to... I forgot the website.... but maybe fellow LYK can input on that...
