What is the difference between a cars trade-in value and a cars retail value?

Question:
My consumer math assignment says : " Mr. Johnson found on the internet that his car had a 'trade-in value' of $4295 but a 'retail value of $9110. Check the internet and find out what these values mean and why such a difference exists." But I have looked for that and all I can find is the trade in values for specific cars...please help me?

The trade in value is how much dealers will typically buy your car from you for when you buy a new one.
Retail value is what a dealer typically sells it for.

The trade value is much less, because that's how much money will go toward another car if you trade this car in at the dealership. Retail value is how much they should sell it for. Most likely you want to look at retail.

A lot of money in your pocket vs. the dealer's pocket. Trade in is the lowest value, which is assigned by dealers when you trade in your car to buy another car. The dealer discounts the market value of your car so he/she can make a profit on resale. If you sell by yourself (which is often tough) you should hope to get retail value. However, realistically you probably will get somewhere south or retail and north of trade in if you succeed in selling yourself.

The Trade in value is when the dealer rips YOU off.... the Retail value is when the dealer rips the next guy off!
