I don't know what your sales tax rate is, but here, the difference between selling private and losing the tax savings vs taking trade-in price + tax savings is not enough to make it worth the hassle of selling on your own, at least not to me. Paying to list it, time to let people see it, letting strangers drive your car, etc.. Just not worth the hassle, IMO. Not for a few hundred, maybe $1000 tops. Last time I tried to sell one on my own, I wasted that few hundred on eBay fees and ended up running the car through the auction anyway (had a friend in the used car business).
