I don't have experience, but I assume pack degradation to accellerate as it gets toward the bottom end because you're asking more from weak cells/banks.

In my view, trading in the car is the only ethical way to not disclose the weak battery. Selling private party is always my instinct because it maximizes the sale price. I'd have to disclose everything to potential buyers though.

Your instinct to sell sounds right to me though, unless you want to be burdened with replacing the pack.

If you can make do without replacing the vehicle for a while, even better. Fetch top dollar now for it and wait for supply chain issues to work through and prices to ease a bit.
