OK you're much better off selling it on your own. Use the website below to help you value it. Retail is listed as well. Also check Cars.com they have a private party to private party value which seems pretty accurate. Also check CarGurus.com. Lots of listings for comparison.
Trade-in Values
The NADA and black book pricing is the most accurate in my opinion. I have really looked at pricing carefully on these 4.8is vehicles for the last three months. Right now I think is a bad time to sell the prices plummeted the last couple months. 10 days ago I paid $9216 with 120 K in excellent condition. Sure the suspension as a bug in it but I don't even mind spending three or $4000 on it because the rest of it is nearly perfect with brand-new tires etc.
My point is the spring is a much better time to do it. You will be shocked how little you get right now. The guy that traded it in the place I bought it from which was a luxury used dealership got $8500 for it. I know that because one of my friends actually was found to be working there unbeknownst to me and he told me that later.
Check those sources for pricing that we are very much in use by the dealer especially black book.
Go look at a QX 56 four or five years old they are great albeit not splashy vehicles. And very reasoable. Reliable and great for families. We have one actually a QX 80 which we paid too much for her but I like the 56. Had to appease the wife but the older one is a much better value. They look pretty good too. A little frumpy but has some pizzaz and are kinda fun.
You'll have to find somebody who really appreciates what you have but you get so many extras on it you just need to find the right private buyer. I think you will if you're patient.
