Thanks for the replies everyone! Anyone have an opinion on the rear differential and whether or not it's actually damaged? I may get it checked out by a shop. It seems like the overwhelming opinion is to not look back and get a new car though, so I'm looking at that path. I want push-button start and prefer black or grey, so my options near me are a 2016 Premium 8k miles for $24k or a 2013 Limited 40k miles for $19k-- weighing the tradeoffs now.
Also, I stopped by the dealer listing the 2016 for $24.9k and tried using KBB to negotiate down to $22.6k, he showed me his screen and said "if I sell to you for $23.9k and enter "g" in this field I'll be only earning $50 profit" and he showed me the results. Anyone seen that trick before? He seemed too ready to show me his system and too ready to sell a $24k car at only $50 profit.

Any idea why my car was quoted as needing a new differential while yours wasn't? Did your mechanic find anything? Similar damage to the rear wheel on both yours and mine.
