MINI Convertible - is it better to trade in or sell privately?

I'm thinking of selling or trading my 2008 MINI Convertible with 13,000 miles and a full service history. Would I get better price by trading or private sale?

Private sale and now it's summer time it is the right time to sell an attractive convertible like a MINI. You might get £6000-£6500 for it.
