Trading in vs. selling an old Honda Accord
 

I have a 97 Accord with over 230K miles. Runs well, worth about $2000
I plan on purchasing a 2008 Accord when they come out.
I am considering trading in, to avoid the time and hassle of selling
my old car.
Are there any strategies to use at the dealer to get a better price
for a trade-in.
I heard about dealer tricks such as "holding your car hostage" for
hours while a technician looks it over for appraisal. I would like to
hear from people who found trade-ins worth it when they bought a new
car. Any tips when trading in to dealer are appreciated
Thanks
