Anything over $23 k is gravy. That is what you paid for it, and it is now slightly older, so worth slightly less. I would consider $23 k, but would look for a little more because I might not find an exact comparable at the same price. Stretch target would be $24k/$25k.

I would move the loan over to the new vehicle with my bank, same interest rate.

And I would ask to keep any special mods I had done (wheels, etc).

I forgot to mention that I had about 3k into the car just for a full replacement of the stock air suspension with arnott bags and compressor. So I agree 24k plus what I have invested in it for 27k is more than reasonable for their mistake.
