Do you sell your car yourself or trade it in?

When it's time to sell, Do you sell your car yourself or trade it in?

I've always sold my on my own, and its always been very easy and worth the couple extra dollars from the trade in value.... but then again, it's always been cheaper cars... Sold 3 cars on my own all were sold for less than 6000$

Now I am selling my Altima coupe, will let it go for $12k Book is $13,400-$14,1000

Cannot believe how much of a hassle its been. Driving up to 30 miles for them to test drive it... meet with one girl, then her mom and dad, then her whole family, 3 trips, and they offered 11,500. Said no, $12000 was my bottom line.. they walked away (Had it listed for $13300 when they contacted me).... I've done all the research to know I have the best priced coupe for sale in a 100 mile radius... Another guy went to buy it but the financing fell through..

Just been a hassle. I am sure Christmas has only made it tougher...

A Dealership offered me 11k for it... Taking it to Nissan tomorrow to see what they say, don't imagine it will be more than 11k... Have about 3 weeks to sell it before I take it to the dealership

sold it long ago.

Now I walk mostly or take a cab, bus, chauffeur, hitch-hike or just steal one if I really need one. Cars just add to the polution level, cost a ton to maintain and that's not including gas, insurance and all the stereos I have to keep fucking replacing because some crackhead wants to sell my $500 stereo for $20

Sell yourself. You will get screwed in trade in.


I used to work in car business

trade in, not worth the hassle imo

this is true unless u have a hunk of junk and they have one of those push, pull, drop off things for 1-3k or whatever.. those probably just jack the sale price up too but if you are a salesman yourself you can close the car guy out puff_>>
