It looks like there's a scuff on the lower right corner of the rear bumper, a ding on the top of the rear bumper, a scrath (or maybe bird shit) on the middle of the hood halfway between the front and the scoop, and possibly a shopping car-inflicted dent on bottom half the right rear door, 3 inches from the front edge and 8-10 inches from the bottom.

An appraiser would adjust the price for that stuff at about 1-2k off the top value. When I started my business I had a guy I know teaching me what to look for when appraising a car, he did this thing where he felt the paint, was totally wacky.
Anyways, this is the kind of thing you want to point out to the guy. Tell him "I'm going to offer you this much, and I'll tell you why..." this usually keeps people from being offended and actually keeping your card. This guy is going off to the army, I have little doubt he'll take your offer.
