If you’re shopping around for a new car, there are plenty of things you can do with your old car to make room in your driveway. You could sell it, give it away to a family member or a friend, give it to charity, or you can choose the path of least resistance and trade it in at the local dealership so you can get that new, super-sparkly Nissan Sentra in return. A trade-in is the easiest option here, since you’re letting the dealership do everything for you, but do you really get your money’s worth, and how does trading in a car work?
