Sell privately or trade in

Myself and partner looking to trade in two good cars but have little boot room.We want a car which has more space for kids and another one for short runs. Our 2 current cars are worth approx 30k.Are we better off selling cars privately and then buy off a car dealer?

Sell them private for sure. Certainly if one of the cars is worth around 10k, that should be easy to shift private.

If you want value, sell privately. If you want convenience, trade in.
