Of course, the other factor that has not yet been spoken about is that the minimum number of drivers you need in a two car league is two and in a one car league is one. So in order to sell and buy back a driver you need to have a reserve driver otherwise the game blocks the sale. This means unless you happen to have a reserve driver who you are training you are unable to use this strategy. Paying the wages for a reserve driver you don't need will cost you more than any savings you make on wages using sell/buy back.
So, we are left with the only time it is cost effective, a high level, high wage CD. The reason this is cost effective is because most top managers have two, three or some even have four CDs to give them a strong well balanced car at the beginning of the season. Because of these extra CDs it is possible to use sell/buy back without having to employ unwanted reserve staff.

You can still use the buy back option. You just need to let the contract expire and buy the driver/staff back immediately. One downside is that you get a lvl 1 driver/staff assigned if you would have had less than the minimum amount of drivers/staff left. But once your driver/staff is signed again you can sell the lvl 1 driver/staff (who initially costs 50k in wages).
By the time managers reach L18 they have enough experience to have worked this out for themselves, they don't need the guides.
