I would have thought a bit lower than that,
I would have thought they would be thinking around 8k-10k,
But also depend's on the vehicle to be bought and what they stand to loose/gain on said vehilce.

Im ready for the insulting prices lol
I have seen a few on carsales etc. I did see one 19k 70,000ks silhouette sunroof extremly nice!
Ive got it on carsale and AFF for 14,999 would probably be tempted to take 14k.
Wat do u guys think its worth privatley while were on it.

19k is dreaming, even though it may have a few option's, it doesn't matter, that doesn't effect resale value,
I think you have a realistic starting price but like I said these type of vehicle's don't sell well in this day and age, espcially right now, if you willing to hang on to it and wait for a buyer you may get your price or close to it, or if you need to sell, you will have to be realistic and go lower, but I would stay where you are and test the water.

LOL, it will be a very insulting day for you I think, just remember to laugh it of, they will be offerring you very low trade in price's, but that's the norm and considering our ecomic climate right now,
Let us know how you go though.

No where near what you would like lol
If you were going to trade it in, I would be selling all your goodies before hand.
Shotgun your dvd player if thats the case.

Have you been on carsales lately, there is a turbo on there. Custom two toned paint, mild worked motor for 20k

As long as your happy mate, you may have got a little bit more selling it privately but then agian you may have never sold it, and it might have cost you more in the long run, that's the delima when selling a 2nd hand vehicle againt's trading it in, you will never really get what you want.

When you trade in, you need to worry about the changeover price, not what you got for your car. For what you got, less than $10k changeover is not too bad.
