"Oh but it's so convenient..."
I got a couple trade-in quotes for 2001 9-5 when I was looking to upgrade to a newer 9-5.
Let's see, I spent about an hour cleaning up my car, taking some pictures of it, and listing it on Craigslist. Then I probably spent about another hour researching a bit and printing some paperwork on the CT Department of Motor Vehicles website. It was listed for a week or so and I finally sold it for $400 less than I was asking for it. But that was STILL $2100 MORE than the highest trade-in offer.
Take the time and effort and sell it privately. You'll save yourself a ton of money.
