Two reasons...

Most people dont know they usually offer more...and some people just dont care, they would rather trade it in and get the new vehicle at the same place.

I sold a 2006 Mustange GT with 18,500 miles to Carmax last year. It had been in a fender bender and had a small dent in the rear driver side panel, and the plastic wheel liner was broken in half. It also had mice come in and chew up the shift knob and boot. I think the car also had a big door ding on the passenger side. This was my wifes car and I think it was cursed.

They offered me $20,500 and I sold them my car on the spot...

Best a dealer could offer was $18,000.
