It looks like for most people, selling privately is not an option.

Maybe some people need the 'value' in their old car to be realised at the point of exchange,
maybe some people can't keep two cars at the same time (how do you get your insurance NCB transferred if you still have your old car insured too?),
maybe you just don't want the hassle giving test drives to time wasters.
I'm amazed that so many people can afford to take that route with a dealer just for the sake of "hassle". So many people complain of "rip-off Britain" but they are too lazy to do anything about it. It's a licence to print money for a dealer as far as I can see. Maybe I'm in the wrong business!
