what's the best way to sell my civic for a new one?

[arrow83]

i've had my 97 civic since it was new, and it's been great but miles are getting high and the honda fit is looking pretty nice...do you guys think i should trade in my civic at a dealer or sell privately? i've never traded in so i don't know what the advantages are of doing so. i'm in tamarac, florida so i was just going to go to that huge automall in coral springs Coral Springs Auto Mall | Nissan, Buick, GMC, Pontiac, Kia, and Honda Dealers in Coral Springs, Florida | New and Used Nissan, Buick, GMC, Pontiac, Kia, and Honda Dealerships | Serving Coral Springs, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Miami, and to see what they could do for me, if trading in is the best option.

i'd appreciate any advice on this, and also if anyone has heard of the coral springs place. i need a good deal!

thanks!
