I have an '08 in great condition with the same mileage and mine is worth a lowly $6,000. I say keep the car, or just trade up to something new as you'll more likely get $6,000-7,000 credit towards perhaps.. an STi? hehe

KBB isnt the only valuation source. Its a game, dealers "value" trade-ins using Kelley Blue Book values to buy, and use the higher NADA values to price to sell.

For anyone who has every bought a used Toyota at a Toyota dealer, you know the pricing is typically not in-line with "KBB"....it's always higher. NADA is why.

NADA lists my car at 10475. And try yours at NADA.com and see the difference....but yeah for that kinda money Ill keep enjoying it. Heck its still covered under the factory powertrain warranty!

Im not sure what $10,000 will buy thats any better, but the only nibbles Ive had have been from scammers and dealers wanting to pay me 7000 so THEY can retail it for 10999. You'll spend over $10k for a Honda Civic of the same year with 3 times the miles on it around here.

In fact CarMax offered me 7000 and told me they "lot it" at 10,895.

Never had such little interest in one of my immaculate and well-cared for vehicles and I'm no spring chicken! LOL. I guess the Yaris isnt for everyone.

Good luck to us both.
