The trick is finding the person that considers those things. I know it's not the same thing, but an example is - we all see cars advertised for $2000 (or more) over what several others of the same model are going for... the owner justifies the extra $ by listing all the stuff he's recently had fixed. Tyres, battery, brakes... What these guys don't consider is, the other cars selling for $2000 less also have tyres, a battery, and working brakes. i.e. The car should have already had those things. So when they set the price $2000 more because they spend $3000... They're effectively asking the buyer to pay for repairs that should have already been there, albeit not new.
Your situation is different, but what I'm saying is, a lot of people will think the same way about this car (because a lot people don't seem to think too deeply nowdays). ;-p
I guess this is why a wagon swap with someone that's done similar was your first choice. Because they recognise the value of those things, and you'd hopefully be getting a swap with some similar improvements - reducing what you 'lose'.
Like suggested above, I'd be pulling back on the camera a bit, taking more photos, and giving more detail (in words too I mean).
Good luck with it. :-)
