Re: Buying New Car - To trade in with car sales man or sell the car myself?
Depends on the liquidity of the make and model of your car in question.
For instance, if your existing car is a "mainstream" car - ample demand for it - like an E46 320, then you are better off selling it off / exporting it yourself. If your car is a niche/cult car - for instance an Alfa 147 GTA - then you could be better off doing a trade-in rather than paying few more months of instalments (assuming you are on loan) trying to fight for a few thousands $$$ more.

no right or wrong answer
If u r the hassle free type of guy, then do trade in and bargain as much as u can...Remember, when u trade in , u r paying two spreads, ie the salesperson will take your car price at dealer's bid price and he/she sells the new car with full profit margin stipulated by the dealership. Sounds crap but good luck nonetheless.
