Ridiculous trade-in appraisal...

Selling it to a private party is almost the best way to sell your car.
Going to trade in your car normally results in you dropping your Pants and bending over and grabbing your ankles.... thats reality sorry.

They were trying to help you out, by convincing you to hold on to your z. You should be happy

Yes of course private party will get you more if you have the time and patience. As for strictly a trade though, I just find it ridiculous that consumers are only allowed access to blue book, NADA, etc. and not what dealers actual use. Why do sites like Kelley Blue Book even exist if dealers don't even come close to matching?

Those sites exist so you know you're being ripped off. Imagine if they didn't exist, you might think 21k was a good deal!
