Everything we buy depreciates, right after we leave and go home. Dealers do pay lower than an outright sale to a private buyer. Most people who want to trade at a dealer, do not want the hassle with private buyers.
But ...
I have come to find that after many years of buying / trading cars at dealerships, that if you are willing to be realistic in your asking price, they are most likely willing to negotiate better too. Some may lowball - so you leave and go elsewhere.
I look at it this way - when I buy a car, I receive an immediate pay back on my investment, Over time I am still receiving a return on my investment, because I am enjoying the vehicle. If you stop enjoying it - time to get rid of it. How you do that is up to you.
