How much do you think my car is realistically worth as is?

Hi everyone! I’m trying to get a feel of what I should realistically expect if I try to sell my car on marketplace, Craigslist, etc. It is a 2008 Lexus RX400h AWD ~180,000 miles. It has a handful of problems if I am being completely honest; from lights to bad wheel bearing, the car is in that stage where I don’t want to spend any more money on it. To get into specifics, the car has a VSC and AWD system malfunction message due to a (really) bad passenger side wheel bearing, the check engine light is lit possibly due to a O2 sensor, tire pressure is lit because one of the wheels are missing the sensor, 2/4 shocks need replacement, and front right passenger rotor needs to be replaced alongside the before-mentioned wheel bearing. Besides these handful of issues, lol, the car turns on, drives steady, and is in overall better condition than I would expect a 17 year old car to be in. A couple chips in the paint, no tears in any of the leather seats, small chipping at the dashboard on the passenger side, headliner is in perfect condition, floor carpets are in okay condition, and all the buttons work as the day they were installed. I know it’s a lot but I’m just looking for a general area to possible price it. The KBB value of the car is $5k-7k (in drivable conditions) but I know not to expect that number. Anything helps thank you!
