Shop your trade in, numerous places will buy it wholesale outright without a trade. Could come out better than what the dealer with the vehicle you want to buy is offering.

You’d come out best selling your old car yourself and getting better than wholesale, but you’d likely miss out on the car you want, if you have to trade to pull off buying it.

Certified pre-owned is often a better warranty than new. I assume it’s still the 100K mile bumper to bumper? Decent warranty.

Only concern with the car itself would be that it has been parked for a lengthy period for some reason, blown engine or something. Unusually low miles can mean trouble. Carfax history should show any major mechanical work as well as accidents, routine maintenance performed by a dealer, etc.
