Try craigslist too, but most of the people there try to hustle (like me 
)
And a lot of lowlife scum that try to lowball like crazy!!!
But sometimes you'll get lucky and can make a quick sale to someone who can appreciate what you have..
Just make sure you highlight the fact that it has such very low miles.
Oh and if I were you, I would swap on 2 stock wheels on one side and take a couple pics.. Shouldn't take more than a half hour...
It looks better with stock rims and people would appreciate the fact that it comes with stock rims and winter rims and be willing to pay more....
I would say you can probably get like $11k - $13k
The more descriptive your ad is + the more pictures you have - the faster it will sell..
If you want it to sell extra quick, make a couple videos and put them on youtube and include links to view the videos in your ads.
- video tour of the interior showing all electronics work, windows, sunroof, radio, etc...
- video of the car starting up and running showing instrument panel with no warning lights & showing mileage..
- video walk around tour of the whole exterior
etc....
Every time I include lots of pictures ( & VIDEOS ) I sell cars quicker!! It makes sense...
If you want to be lazy and not put a little time into it, you will sit on your car longer and people won't appreciate what you have.
If you want to sell the car for 6k then yeah don't worry about pictures and stuff.. But if you want more money you're gonna have to work for it.

BLUE BOOK® SUGGESTED RETAIL VALUE

Suggested Retail Value
Kelley Blue Book Suggested Retail Value is representative of dealers' asking prices for a used car, and the starting point for negotiation between a consumer and a dealer. This Suggested Retail Value assumes that the vehicle has been fully reconditioned and has a clean title history, but has not been certified in accordance with any Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program the automaker may offer (for which it may or may not qualify, according to factors such as vehicle age and mileage). This value also takes into account the dealers' profit, costs for advertising, sales commissions and other costs of doing business. The final sale price will likely be less depending on the vehicle's actual condition, popularity, type of warranty offered and local market conditions.

Suggested Retail Value
This value assumes the vehicle has received the cosmetic and/or mechanical reconditioning needed to qualify it as "Excellent". This is not a transaction value; it is representative of a dealer's asking price and the starting point for negotiation.
Close
Poor
* Severe mechanical and/or cosmetic defects and is in poor running condition.
* May have problems that cannot be readily fixed such as a damaged frame or a rusted-through body.
* Branded title (salvage, flood, etc.) or unsubstantiated mileage.
Kelley Blue Book does not attempt to report a value on a "poor" vehicle because the value of these vehicles varies greatly. A vehicle in poor condition may require an independent appraisal to determine its value.

Vehicle Condition Ratings
Excellent

A rather ignorant/vulgar individual over on my.is.com felt that my vehicle was worth ONLY 7 to 9K MAX. My view was we'll be keeping this car before I let it go for that kind of money. Then again he drives a Scion Xb so his car taste in general leave a little to be desired.

post it up for what you want and feel its worth, since it does not sound like youre in any kind of rush to sell. people will always shoot you offers and try to negotiate so i like to give myself a small cushion usually. naturally you will always get lowballers as well, simply just ignore them.
car looks to be in excellent condition and the right person should come around and pay what its worth
