For what it's worth, I just picked up my 2013 Sport Tech (Limited) a couple weeks ago. Bone stock (I passed on many because they were modded. And they were modded by young kids who thought it was a racecar and beat the hell out of. THAT's why the price decreases, whether you did or not, will be in the buyers mind).
33000km (20K miles?), 1 or 2 door dings (dealer took care of those), $18K Canadian to give you an idea. I don't think the exchange rate is a fair comparison since that would put it at a 13.5k USD Car, but I DEFINITELY wouldn't not pay $18K USD.

The mods will make the price go down if selling to a dealer. Not necessarily if a private sale. You are not going to get the full value of the mods back but in the right market you can get at least a little bit more for the car. Remember that those same young kids you spoke of may be the buyer. There are loads of buyers out there that don't think the same way you or I do so we can't make sweeping comments that nobody would pay that.
No you can't apply the exchange rate against value. That only works if using US funds to pay.
