Post Someone help me out here?

I currently have a 98 avalon, i was hoping to sell the car privately, and get a tl-s. KBB retail is 20,5k. You think I can get around this much if I trade in now, or should I sell it privately and wait a few months for the price of the TL-S to drop???
I appreciate the help.

I've always believed in selling your own car.
You know it best and have a vested interest in seeing it go.
If time is not of the essence, this is what you should do in my opinion.

If you trade it in, that's a $20,500 tax credit.
In WA that's over $1750 bucks, so your
trade would in reality be worth $22,250.
Plus, you don't have the hassle of selling
a car and having people call you.

If there is a Carmax where you live, I suggest taking it to them to get an offer. You don't have to buy from them to sell your car, and I got the highest offer from them. I had a Nissan Sentra, and got an offer from an Acura dealership for $7k, but Carmax gave me $9k. Selling privately is the best, but you have to deal with the headaches of selling a car .
