The question
Should I trade in a 1996 Honda Civic or would it be better to sell privately?

Hi Dee,
Try both. Sadly, unless it's in amazingly good condition with low mileage it's probably not going to be worth very much. Why not ask a local dealer what you'd likely get on a potential trade-in and then have a crack at selling it yourself? It's possible, given the old Civic's cult following, that you may find a better deal out there from an enthusiast with money to spend.
Let us know how you get on
