Why sell privately?
The main benefits of selling privately are that you have control over how much the car is sold for and you keep every penny. However, the drawback here is the hassle involved with preparing your vehicle for sale and then organising the handover. A private sale will no doubt be a longer process than part exchanging, so it's important to be prepared if you do take this option.
Why part exchange?
Part exchanging your car on the other hand is a far simpler arrangement, as the dealer will value it and subtract this from your new car's price. They deal with all the pre-sale preparation, and any issues that are found are no longer your responsibility. If you're looking to quickly upgrade and are happy not to receive a for-sale price, this should be your option.
