I don't know the answer to your question. But, this isn't really a TSX specific question, it could apply to any car. Why don't you post it in Off Topic so that more people can see it.

Granted, the dealer will probably be able to resell it as a CPO, so you won't have trouble selling it to an Acura dealer. Start there for convenience sake, but definitely get a Consumer Reports used car price report to find out what the car is worth if you sell it privately. Know that you will get less money for a car at the dealer than if you sell it yourselves.

If you sell it back to the dealer, don't expect to get much for it. Try doing what these people say and sell it privately, at least you'll get your money faster. It can't take more than a month to get it sold. Just use craigslist and autotrader. I've sold 3 cars on autotrader with no problem.

in suggestion to private sales, put it at high dollar, maybe 2K more than you want to get, so when someone bites you can do some "negotiating" and drop the price a thousand and you're still making a grand over what you wanted and the buyers feels like they got a good deal.
You wont get enough from the dealership. They'll give you KBB good condition for your car as is and you'll end up paying the difference

I think dealers go by a different book called the "black book" that screws you even more than the blue book. Read it on a fat wallet thread if any of you are familar with it.

^^ You're right, I used to sell cars =) The dealership shows you a "KBB" printout and it is a bit different then what you would see because it's all factored in to make a profit for the dealership. To go into how it works is a long story. Rule of thumb, if you're not morbidly upside down and need refinancing at the dealership you are always better off to sell it privately.
