My brother's last two truck trades, the dealer offered a good trade-in price and bought his used trucks either sight unseen and/or without any research or questions. Both trucks were desireable marketable trucks with a strong used market. The first truck had been totaled twice and fixed back up professionally. The dealer gave him more money for it compared to what I or a high school kids would be willing to pay for it. The second truck had some damage to the tailgate but was otherwise great. The dealer gave him a good deal actually and it helped me move into the next truck ownership experience.
Me, I've only bought new once. I got a Viggen in 1999. They weren't available used. I vastly prefer used cars.
Other people trade in 2-3 year old cars because the lease is up and the value at trade in time is not negotiable. If they wanted to sell it privately, they'd have the extra step of buying it and then selling it, which can be a gamble when leases are competitive as they are.
