Do you want to sell that car private party? They have a really special niche in New England where you can get a good bit more for it than the trade in. Quickly too.

Post it up on this site [www.nepontiac.org](http://www.nepontiac.org) and [massclubgp.com](http://massclubgp.com)  
If you can represent it well you have a good shot at more than the dealer.
