Nobody can give you that answer. Used cars' depreciation governs their values; their actual mileage vs. "normal" mileage for their age (about
11K / year) is an adjustment to the depreciated value - about $.12/mile, less as the car ages.If you're lucky and the market is reasonable 50% x $29,000 = $14,500 plus up to $6,000 for very very low mileage - but only for the buyer who wants a 5 year old car with only 5,000 miles use.
Suggest you drive it or sell it.
Crystal ball says zero.
Look out for that bridge abutment!
I wouldn't buy it. Not *enough* miles on it. Generally, cars are for driving. And I'm no collector. Maybe Jay Len-o would like it?

Figure (trade-in) value drops to ((.8 x cost) / year). Resale value very dependent on history, records and your sales ability.
