With no options whatsoever it's worth in the $16k-$17k range private party. Maybe $17.5k if it is in really truly immaculate condition, but at that mileage (which is good) that would mean perfect service records, all work at dealership, never previously modded, and brand new tires.

Considering new '05s were going for 23k last year I would not pay 20k for a 2 year old car.

I would also take it a step further and:

1) List it in your local newspaper classifieds, eBay Motors, Cars.com and Craigslist.org
Make sure to take at least 4 pictures interior and exterior at different angles.

2) Get the car profesionally detailed and cleaned.

First impressions are everything.

When I sold our salvage titled 94 Toyota Corolla the prospective buyers all commented on two things: pics were nice and it was a very clean car.
