Trade or sell

...

We bought a new Mazda Astina four months ago (4500km) for $25,000, which included extras. We have since found the car to be too small for our family and want to upgrade. What would we get for our car and what would be the best way to sell it?

There are only two ways -- privately or by trading the car in with a dealer. You will get more for it by selling it, up to $19,000, but you will have to advertise it and sit by the phone at weekends. You may wait quite a while for a buyer. I would recommend you trade it in on the car you want. You will get about $16,000, but it's the easiest and quickest way to go.
