One more thing...few people have $25K..$27K+ to spend on a used car sold by a private party. Unless you can finance the car, good luck on finding a huyer.
I have sold a car to a private buyer at this price point so it can be done. Patience might be key in this market. It only takes one person to say yes.
Some stuff you can leave on the car and it will work out but most will come off unless you can find someone on the boards. I would try to sell here first so you dont have to remove everything.
