You have to pay more taxes if you buy your vehicle from a dealership with the cash for the sale of your vehicle instead of trading it in because they only tax the difference. You are right that you can get more money, but it really depends on the market. I had a crap load of surface scratches on my truck, something I would have had to buff out(it would have been a lot of buffing, I had already tried to do a basic wax), but the dealership didn't give a shit, they had detail people on staff. I sold 2 vehicles when I purchased my first X, both person to person deals. What a pain in my ass. IMHO it was much easy to just go in and trade the truck. All finished in about 5 hours. If you like the deal a trade gives you, go for it. If not sell the truck in autotrader and see if you can get that much more. I was just trying to illustrate that it is not always the best idea to just sell your truck outright. It all depends on how much time you have, and what the market in your area will allow you to do.
