Do yourself a favor and sell it yourself. A dealer only uses the KBB for reference. The thing people that aren't in the car industry don't understand is they get bombarded like an apple commercial with the Kelly Blue Book. Trust me it doesn't mean crap! They also have a black book they used to go by, not sure if they still do. That one really low balls you.
In the real world, most dealers will look up a car just like yours on craigslist with similar mileage. Probably look at the yellow book, NADA. They won't go by trade in value, they will go by loan value. So they look at craigslist to see what they can get, because KBB doesn't mean crap. But they use the NADA loan value to screw you.
Moral of the story, be patient, sell your car yourself, then look for a car. You will be happy you did. It doesn't make sense to leave thousands of dollars on the table you could use towards the new car..
