I would never sell / buy a car north of $12,000 on Craigslist. That has been my golden rule. Beyond 12K - you can get some good finds and pay the dealer fees + markup and have peace of mind.
I would find a great value car - new or used and trade the CX5 in. CX5 is still somewhat desirable in the near new market but I do not know how CD reliability issues will affect that.
If Driver123 - you are looking for an SUV - last gen Rav4 Hybrids are hitting the end of their leases. A 16 model can be had within 20K USD. I can say one thing about Toyota Hybrids - they last a long time and the longer you keep them the bigger the savings are. If you are looking for sedans - I would recommend you check out Fusion Hybrid in Platinum (2017 or newer) and Hyundai Azera V6 - 2015/16. Both should have seats far better than CX5 and tons of comfort features - again under 20K.
