The Owner Who Sells Their Own Car Usually Keeps More of the Money

Selling a car yourself, instead of handing it over at the dealership as part of your next purchase, will usually bring in more money, Car and Driver says. The difference comes from the owner's own patience and work, and the magazine says it isn't hard to get. For readers from Palm Beach to Aspen who know their cars down to the model year and the service records, that is welcome news. The person who knows the car best is often the right one to find its next owner.
