You may not have a chance. If you did, it would be: 1. Identify the manufacturer stock number for the battery (part number) 2. Investigate the market for said part (may require professional connections) 3. "Salt" your sales offers with the battery part number and condition.

Over/Under goal is a refurbisher or similar middleman buying it just for the battery. Good luck, let us know how it goes

I hear you, but our car literally has more value as a "garbage car" even after insurance than actual resale value despite the rather valuable battery in its innards.

I guess you could list the battery for sale at some high price in case someone needs one.

Although it sounds you are better just keeping the car and using it.
