WHERE TO GET BEST IDEA OF TRADE IN VALUE?

You keep responding like these are personal attacks. We are talking about our experiences from working in the car biz.

No, that's not the point at all - I just said they don't do that sort of thing any more with me, and joked with the picture.
I know nothing was a personal attack, just saying how very different my experiences have been.

My problem is that after I'm done chopping up ("customizing") and abusing a car for a few years, no dealership wants to accept it in a trade-in. lol my only option is private party goobers.

I hate selling to friends and family.

Also, with the money saved in taxes, it’s often not worth it if you can negotiate a decent trade in offer.

Yes, I can't ever recall selling any car I have ever owned to someone I know or relative. It's not worth it to me.

First, they typically want it for a very low price and expect it to be in A1 condition. Then, if anything goes wrong shortly after the sale, how do you handle or explain it?

I would rather just sell it to Carvana, Carmax or trade it in and not think about it again.

excellent point. I'd forgotten about the tax part.
