Default pricing my tC

Im looking into trading the TC in for a jeep or taco, and I am curious on what I could get from a dealer or what I should ask for private sale. Im not in the US right now so I can't go check myself what its worth and id like to have it priced/idea of what I can get when I go home.

Its a 2006 scion tC
It will be all stock except for
S tech lowering springs (if this lowers the value ill put the stocks back on)
Axis Decades (unless I can find someone to trade cash+stocks)
Projector headlights(need to buy I have some F'd up smoked headlights


Has 57,000 miles, had a cross country run and I had to drive 90 miles a day to school and back when I bought it. Second owner of it. Carfax is clean. New tags as of December 2009. Curious what someone would pay or what I could get from a dealer.

You could probably get $10k out of it if you sold it to another person.
KBB is like $9500.

I would take off all the aftermarket parts off the car. Especially the suspension, dealers would give you like a grand less for it, just because of that.

As far as pricing, it is hard to really tell you. Has the car ever been wrecked?

Try to sell it privately, but realistically you'll probably end up taking the hit by trading it in.

dont go for projector light man. The 05-07 are cheaper to get. Its gna be tough for private seller down here in key west. Plus you will prolly get more going up to largo or homestead for trade-in. Definetly try and sell those wheels. You wont gain any extra for them on trade-in so make the most money before you trade -it

Only reason I'm looking at the trade in is because of the rain in key west. I almost was missing movement last week because I couldn't even get out of my base to get to the coast guard base which is like 2 miles away. The tc is fun but I really want a cheap jeep or something to mess around with and drive to work when it floods. I need to get mArried or something so I can pass the tc off and have both. It's gonna be a jeep unless a guy on my boat sells me his taco. I don't know what to do. I owe 7500 on the tc for 2 1/2 more years. Insurance is 80 under my mom. By myself for 10k insurance it's 180 a month. A 94 jeep is 60 for liability

My iPhone won't let me edit. I'd feel guilty saying no accident cArfax is clear but it has a hydrolock and i replaced the front bumped because my cousin rode his little bike into it and to be safe his parents bought a new one. The old one looked fine but they felt bad. Looks like I'll have to keep it and just get
A 2-3k jeep

a good running jeep isnt going to be too hard to find you'll just have to get one thats made in the early 90's for that price
