You can put your car on a dealers lot (if they are open to this practice) doing what is called consignment. I did this with a Honda a while back. The Honda was only a year old with 11K miles on it. Life had changed and I was living in the city and travelling a ton and did not need a car. I made a deal with the dealer where they would get $500 if they sold it. I told them the price I was looking for and added the $500 on top of that. I washed the car up and on the lot it went. One month later I got exactly the cash I wanted. I told the dealer to stick with the amount I was looking for and don't negotiate below that without my permission. Fact is that by just having the car on a dealer lot it will get more. If I tried to do it privately I probably couldn't get that kind of cash.
This only works if:
1) Car is in great shape
2) Helps to be still under warranty
3) You can park the car on the lot (i.e. you don't need it everyday)
Sounds like you meet #1 and #2. Worth a shot if you can live without the car for a month or so. If you price it right and stick it on a dealer lot it probably won't last long.
Just a thought.
