Honda\Acura are in high demand. I sold my Pilot within a week with no discount in price.
MatzoBallsX5 - owning a car is a very personal decision. No two people will agree on it. In your case you have decided that gas is a factor. Okay, done deal, sell the X and get yourself a fuel efficient coupe or sedan. If you get a used car you may even end up with money in your pocket!
Now to answer your questions...It is generally better to NOT sell to a dealer because he needs to make money off your car so he can't give you market value. You need to sell it yourself. First, put it in autotrader and get the deal that shows it in the local magazine and online. Do your research to determine the market value. Let that sit on autotrader for 2 to 3 weeks. If you get no bites and you really want to sell it, then consider auctioning it off on ebay. You won't get as much for it on ebay as people on there are looking for a smoking low price.
If you have mods that can be taken off, consider parting those out as you really can't get your money back on those items when you sale the car.
One last thing to consider...if you are unsure of this decision then get a popular car. That way it would be easy to sell it and get something else. I like to think ahead because you never know!
