 Trading Honda Pilot or CRV for 2012 Subaru Impreza or Outback

Has anyone been able to sell a car as a private sale instead of trading it in recently? The last time I did that was 2000 when I sold a 1996 Honda Accord EX with a 5 Speed Manual Trans. I think only 5% of the 1996 Accords had stick shifts so it was a rarity.

When I search online now 99.9999% of cars listed are at dealer lots not private sales.

In 2008 we bought a new Subaru Impreza and then sold our Highlander to a guy in California who flew up to buy it. I listed the Highlander on eBay, the price didn't meet reserve but the guy had contacted me before the auction ended and had my email address. After auction end he contacted me to arrange a sale at the reserve price and I didn't have to pay the final value fee. Probably got $2k more on the sale than a dealer would give me.

Ken I realize this could vary a lot by region but autotraders has a lot of invididuals listed and talk with a used car dealers. They buy a lot from new dealers for their selling.

But a lot here of certain types are on Craigslist and I have a friend who does auctions often. Mostly small stuff but they also sell cars. He remarked right before Christmas they were selling there for more very high price. NOt sure now if he was comparing to wholesale or retail.

Do talk with your better used car lots.

I too suspect it's a regional thing Dennis.

Around here it's about a 60% (dealer) 40% (private) split on used cars.

I just got back from another shopping trip to Tampa FL and did a bunch of 'pre-shopping' research online before going down there, there was no shortage of a) private sales, but more importantly, b) no shortage of dealers offering big discounts off the asking price for quick cash sales.

One of the items I bought as an example, was a 2004 motorhome, NADA value was $76k., dealer was asking $56k, I bought it for $38k cash.

I also noticed a lot of dealer 'inventory' was actually consignment units.


Best of luck.
