Yes there are all those arguments. But it's a lot more work for still a pitiful amount of money.

Then on top of that after COVID dealer gave me $5k tradein for an Ecoboost car with a leaking cylinder wall, check engine light, missing parts, etc. where KBB was less than that. I really don't get it.

It’s really not a lot of work and if $2000+ for a few hours work is pitiful, I envy your financial position. List on Craigslist at bottom market prices (you’ll still come out way ahead of the dealer), aggressively filter out tire kickers, sell it within 3-4 showings.

The law is very favorable to people being allowed to sell their personal vehicle without jumping through additional regulatory hoops.
