Danny, in my experience dealers will rarely offer more than what they get for your trade in wholesale, which is often a fair bit less than you can sell the car for privately. If they do offer more, they are probably only giving on one hand what they are taking away with another (ie giving you less of a discount on the car itself.
So bit of a hassle, but you will probably get a fair bit better price selling your car privately than trading it in.
Appreciate there may be other reasons for just 'tradin' her in' but for me I'd go straight to that option next time I buy a car from a dealer. That way the deal you are getting is very clear and not murkied by whatever is happening with the trade in.
