Will be buying a different car in the next few weeks, and have a quandry i'm sure many have faced before:

a)Part ex my car, less hassle but less for it (probably)
b)Sell privately, but buy a runner for as litte as poss once sold incase i can't find the right car

In case of b i see the advantage of taking my time to find the right car, so long as the runner gets me around in the meantime!

All comments and suggestions welcome.

For ref my current car is a 2004 Focus 1.8 Ghia, probably worth around £1000 trade (happy to be corrected)

or option c) Sell car to dealer, then buy new one from another dealer.
