Never trade your car. 9 times out of 10 you won't get as much as you would if you were to sell it yourself.
Yeah but sometimes it's worth it to avoid the hassle.

And in this economy, you'd be lucky to sell it privately.



My lease is up in May, and the pay-off on my vehicle at that time is around $12,500. The current KBB trade-in value is $14,900, so I am hoping that in 7 months, I will be able to get more than $12,500 for it, so I can trade it in and make a little money off of it (in the form of a down payment towards a new car). I wouldn't think it would depreciate $2,400 in 7 months (but, who knows!)
