    I'd try Craigs List as well.
    I've got a number of AZ buyers lately for new ones. Now I know why!

    You may want to check with Carmax as well. They will appraise the car and provide you with a cash offer in 30 minutes.

    The CA green sticker is probably not a big factor right now, because they are still giving out green stickers up to 70000. But if the green stickers are gone after that, next year sometime, and you have a green sticker, then there could be a better market at that time.

    I take as an interesting technicality, the question if a second owner could legally claim $2500 Fed credit, or not if the first owner had not taken the credit. I think the tax form just takes VIN number so any VIN will do. As far as TurboTax is concerned I just put in a VIN from any car to force it thru for a sample calculation. CA rebate I think says 3 yrs ownership.

    agreed - I mentioned my 22k trade to the dealer (and their subsequent failure to sell) only to maybe get a better handle on worth
    Since they're unsuccessful unloading at 23k - and you know they'd take 22k - I'd peg it at 21-22k

    just sharing, different states....
    good luck

    I probably am not going to fix it since I have to navigate this driveway daily and while I haven't hit it again yet I'd rather not fix it multiple times.

    I might take it to CarMax just to get a good chuckle.

    That's a good idea. We take all of the cars we sell to CarMax to get their offer and usually laugh it off. However we just sold a gifted Jeep to them for less than $500 difference than private party KBB price which is about what they were selling for on eBay/Cars.com. First time we ever took their offer and it was super easy.

    What are regular Gen3's selling for of equivalency? This would be the same with maybe about a $500 premium.

    $20K , you should have taken the $17,500.

    Why are you selling? Taking a big $$$ hit? Is it paid off?

    Would the ground effects cover it up?
