I had a friend who is a sales manager at a dealership check the recent auto auction sales and he estimated I would probably be offered $10k if I were to trade it in. I thought stripping the aftermarket parts to do a part out (coilovers, intake, tune, high flow cat, cat back, etc) and just trade it in but the guy was willing to pay $16.5k as-is so at the time it was a no brainer. Was a bit of a pain though.

I prefer Bank transfer. After 3-5min i have money on my bank account.
