Do clean cars really matter?

Not enough information.

Right now trade in values are depressed by the low prices on new cars. A dealer can't give too much for the trade, if they do then the car will be competing with newer cars or new cars.

I found out what the problem was from the sales manager, the owner is a dumb arse. His son traded in one exactly like mine but a year older last month, he gave him $13k for it. He thinks it's the same year, but his was an 03, mines an 04. I know, I detailed it. He's one of those people who won't admit to his mistake so this deal is dead. I would have taken $14k for it, which is more than fair. I've bought 7 cars in the last 5 years from this place and my family together has bought almost 15 total in the same time. He lost all that over $1000.
