    Yes it does depend I traded a 10 Rav4 and they gave me KBB said 19 on a trade and I got $20650 plus the tax savings don't think it would have been any better to sell out right but every car and market is different I try to hit 3-5 dealers to see what they value my trade at.

    Took 2-3 weeks, I had 3 people total look at it. Person #2 bought it. Yep, Craigslist. It's more of a pain but even with tax savings I made out $3k+.
