I figure the prospects who want me to finance it are indicative of the credit markets more than their own credit-worthiness. But I don't want to deal with that anyway.
They don't use NADA or KBB, or any other such books. They have access to real time actual sales data that is not available to the general public.

That data is showing around $12K for a trade in. If NAV was available that year and your car has it, that will add a little more.
