kmbkk - Sell it on your own. I was offered $3500 for our 04 Manual Scion xB with 110k by my dealer. We sold it on Autotrader for $7200. Edmunds and KBB said it should be sold, private party, for $5800. So we got even more than we should have got! Perhaps it's the unique case of first-gen xBs not often coming up for sale, but what I think it comes down to is the used car market is a GREAT place to be selling right now, not buying. You should be able to get at least what those sites recommend in private party sale.
At least go to Carmax to see what they would offer. Or, you can appraise your car on Autotrader, see the value, and get in touch with dealers that will buy it from you for that much. On Autotrader, I was being offered $5600, in cash, to head down the local Honda dealership and just sell it to them for cash. Again, a good deal more than the $3500 I was offered by my dealer.
