Should I take this ex demo Avensis?

My local dealer is offering an 11 plate ex demo Avensis 2.0 D4D TR Estate for £18,000.

I have a Panda Multijet on a 56 plate with 60,000 on the clock in reasonable condition for possible trade in. Is the price fair for the Avensis?

Is it better to trade in or sell the Fiat privately and what sort of price could I expect to get for it?

Avensis 1.8i and 2.0i Valvematics are much better than the diesels. On top of which the 2.0 D-4D has just been improved, but an 11 reg will not be the improved version. 06 60k mile Panda Multijet, £2,650.
