Thanks everyone. I was thinking of trying CarMax. I might do that this weekend. I thought about listing on CL but I'm a bit unsure about safety when meeting with folks. (as a single female). I'd rather lose another $2-3K for the ease and safety of trading it in.
I may wait around to see what the 2016's look like. I'd hate to pull the trigger and then something come out in 2016 that I wish I would have waited for.
I'll keep everyone posted.

Yea I would just trade in, even if you lose 2-3k. I just sold a car on craigslist for 14k, it almost wasn't worth it. And for a 30k ~ish plus car, good luck finding a buyer.
Rc350 is cool and all, but it is a coupe, if that matters.

When you were looking for your car did you consider craigs an option.....others probably wouldn't either.
Beyond the personal safety aspect, Id be more worried about the fraud aspect. Not many buyers will have that kid of money if cash and i would never touch a check of ANY KIND from a stranger no matter what bank it looks like its from.

I bought my car off craigslist off a female. She had the car for about 6 months. Her and her husband needed to upgrade to a bigger car. She was going to trade in, sold on craigs for more thsn the trade in value. I bought the car at a price that i couldnt refuse. Bottom line, we both as seller and buyer both benefitted. She sold for 2000 more than she was quoted to trade in, i bought the car 2000 less than all other cars i was looking for in the market at that time.

YMMV, but for the simplicity of it all trading is worth some money to me for the convenience factor, Id be willing to "lose" a bit of money but others would spend their time trying to deal on their own.

I would sell the is250 and get myself a nice weekend sports car and keep the 03 accord; however, if you want an all around car and only one car I would say the upgrade to the 350 should be good
