you wont get much, they will pork you because of the mileage and then they'll pro-rate everything they can. if you got anything more than 8,500 i would be surprised but you never know.

is your car paid off? if so, anything you get will be a decent down payment on something else.

they give book vaule but they will pro-rate stuff and deduct 50% of the vaule of the tires because they are half worn, they will do the same for almost everything in the suspension and find anything else.

they are trying to pay you as little as they can, it's literally their job. what's book vaule on your car?
