Car in question here is in my sig. 48k miles right now & Auto trans.
Just a few typical rock chips & a scratch on the decklid that was there when I bought it.
Hard to say. Used prices are still pretty high right now but (depending on your state tax laws) a private sale may yield more money.

If your state doesn't have any tax breaks for trading in a car, then anything you get over KBB or Edmunds "trade in - average condition" is a bonus to you.

You can always get a realtime estimate from CARMAX. Their offers are generally slightly higher than dealers although they've declined recently.
