We've all heard it hundreds of times from salesmen 'it costs more in the first place but is worth more 2nd hand'. I don't think this holds any truth any more with any brands in particular JD. All dealers no longer seem to want trade ins of any description and seem to say 'sell it yourself, you'll get more for it'.
So the point is if you sell back to a dealer your only ever going to get offered the trade price so it being worth more is incorrect and bares no relevance to the sale. Selling privately if you can be done with the hassle obviously would realise more money but not everybody wants to do that and have the hassle of dealing with multiple people for a few thousand more.
