check the FS threads to get an idea. for instance a quick look shows a sport with fewer miles and on the original engine with an asking price of $13K ($14K if you get it with his upgraded brakes).

look around and check some that are there in your area, check autotrader and cars.com, then account for how desperate you are to sell. we're going into winter so RWD sports cars aren't the car people are going out to buy and on top of that we're not in a great economy so it may take a little longer if you aren't willing to flex in price. again, it all depends on how badly you want to get rid of it.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

$12,000-$14,000 depending on the "demand" where you live. I know thats probably shockingly low but thats all you can really expect.

I'll offer another reference point:

I'm about to trade in my 2004 Touring MT RX-8 with 22K miles. The offers that I received at two dealers were $10.5K and $12.5K. I jumped on the 2nd offer. I'll be replacing the RX-8 with a 2007 Jeep Commander Overland.

The RX-8 was great fun, but I'll be able to drive the Commander year round rather than just 6-months here in PA.

As CTrx8 stated, this is not the ideal time to try selling a RWD sports car. Best luck.

Please remember, trade-in value at dealers fluctuates with every deal and really has no consistency. For example if the car your looking at has 4000 dollars in profit, they can show you 2000 more for your trade than they normally would to trick you into thinking your getting a better deal, even though theyre just taking from the profit margin and taggin it onto your trade value.

Just an FYI from an ex salesman :)
