Interesting facts you should know before buying a 2009:
My car is a 2009 fully loaded sport touring, 6MT with 11,500mi

Kelly Blue Book value for Private Party sale:
Excellent: $34,525
Good: $32,925
Fair: $30,425

For Trade-In value:
Excellent: $30,650
Good: $29,250
Fair: $26,750

The interesting figure is the Private Party Excellent/Good condition values. With 11,500mi, it's really maintained value.
Make sure your negotiation on the new 2009 is respective of these values.
