I've been wanting to trade in my 02 TL (no accidents, 90000km) for a 02 A4 of pretty much the same history, and finally had the time to do it. Went to a used car dealership on Kingsway. When I got there, the guy offered me $6000, I was like, wtf.. I was hoping to trade it in with $1000 on top seeing as how these cars are roughly the same value and the guy made some dumb remark and I was cheesed and left.

So what I want to ask is, is that the kind of offers I should expect when trading in my car? Should I try to sell my car privately instead? Or should I try and bargain for a better trade price? Sorry if I sound kind of dumb, first time trade-in/selling experience.
