Default OT what to do with lemon of a duramax

So I bought an '04 duramax back in may and it has been a nightmear ever since i've bought it.

Right now it needs:
-t-case bearings
-front diff bearings/ seals
-something else front end wise (probably balljoints or hubs)
-an alignment
-a cluster
-maybe injectors (used to smoke a ton at stop lights, white smoke, now it's just a little black smoke at idle, not under warenty)
-may an allision trans (feels like it's starting to act up)

I paid $17,500 for it and have probably put $1,500-$2,000 in it. I know i'm going to take a hit. Any ideas on how to dump it and not screw the buyer/ loose that much money. I plan on replacing with an older cheaper truck and hopefully putting a little of the sale price into the bank.

It's an '04 2500HD crew/ short bed, leater, all the bells and whistles, 133k if that helps

Thanks for the help
