That tells you that you can put it up for sale privately and get $50k for it.

Don't count on it.
I was talking to a dealer about trading my car towards a 2021 and they wanted to give me $35k trade and sell the new one at Supplier Pricing plus let me take the rebate. In other words, my car plus $15k.
If I were to sell my car right now to Vroom for $40k, I could still by the 2021 at the same price and it would net out to my car plus $10k.
Dealers generally won't come anywhere near the amount you can get by selling your car outright and selling it via private sale won't typically net you a lot more AND it's usually a hassle.
