Dealers are ALWAYS interested in a trade-in if they can sell you a newer car. But the price they will give you for the trade-in is dependent upon whether or not they want to keep it on their used car lot. If not, then they will sell it at wholesale price to a Dealer who sells those cars (meaning a Jaguar Dealer, in your case), which means you will get less-than-wholesale price. In a few cases, you may get wholesale price and they are simply making a markup on the car you buy from them and just passing on the trade-in to the other dealer at zero markup. You will ALWAYS get a better price if you sell privately.....but as you say, there is a lot of hassle that goes with it. If your XKR is in very good shape, I wonder if an auction house will consider auctioning it?

Since I haven't personally sold these kind of cars before, need suggestions for smoothing the process of selling the XKR and the best way to go about it.

Thanks

yidal8, this private owner AutoTrader listing for a ‘13 XKR convertible in Quebec, Canada just came up. I know it’s Canada - different market, $exchange, etc. - but so few are ever for sale, I thought I’d share for your information.
