The next owner will appreciate you working out all the bugs.

Hey, you bought a 9 year old car with 42k on the clock. That's less than 5k miles a year! Cars don't like to sit. Now that it's being driven, some things are going to need to be fixed. Once you work through the list, you'll have a nice, reliable car. Besides, it may be cheaper to keep and fix it than to trade it in right now. You'll lose a bunch.
