Default Moving abroad dilemma! 2017 IS 350 F Sport

I bought a 2017 IS with the idea of keeping it for a minimum of 5 years. I've had a change of circumstances and need to relocate abroad. Unfortunately I can't take it with me. I specifically chose the RWD and as I live in WA where it rains like crazy, demand is for AWD, so they had to order mine from AZ. Dealers here will probably give me a terrible deal simply due to low demand for RWD. What's the best way to sell and where? And what's an OK price? Here's pics. Driven 9K.

How long will you be away for? If > 1 year, i would seriously consider selling it and cut your losses. otherwise it's something you'll be worrying about, and you'll be eating more depreciation while not enjoying. this is a topic thats very dear to me.

wow thats unfortunate. Any family member with room at their house you can just store the car there for free? If not I would sell it to carmax and take the hit because a buyer from carmax can be anywhere in the lower 48 because camas will cheaply ship your car to you.

craigslist, facebook.

the dealer will always buy it back, but they will lowball you.

I'll have to sell it for sure. I'll post it on this site marketplace too, or if anyone is interested please private message me. I'll be overseas for 24 months and keeping with family is not an option. Thanks for the tips guys.
