How do you compare trade-in offers from different dealers and sources?
Test the Market. Selling your car privately for maximum retail value on sites like : CarGurus, AutoTrader, BaT auctions, etc. You can attract new buyers by showing them “the ropes” (from credit union lenders) who lend at favorable rates as low as 2%. This will allow the buyer to get cheap financing and you the seller to get a fast equitable sale.

How do you compare trade-in offers from different dealers and sources?
Get actual “offers” from online retailers and then compare them to brick and mortar dealers like Carmax or the dealer of your choice. Keep in mind what your next course of action is? Buying another car or just walking away. If buying another vehicle is what you are interested in use that leverage (your trade in equity) to enhance you bargaining power on the new purchase. The dealer will undoubtedly want your car so make sure you get a deal on the new one. A trade in is what all dealers are currently looking for in this climate of scarce good three year old cars.
