I have a car on order, as anyone who reads here regularly knows.

The thing is, I'm not trading in the old one. BMW didn't see it, but told me flat out that they weren't interested. That's fine, I don't want an eight year old Saturn either, thus my being in the process of replacing it.

So, what do I DO with it? It's never been in an accident, it goes to the dealer every 3k like clockwork, it's got tires that were replaced a meager 5k miles back, and the car is generally in good condition. I'm tempted to plop it on Ebay, but that means DEALING with Ebay, and I'm not shipping a car to someone on the other side of the country. CarMax claim they'll buy anything, but I doubt they'd give me much for it. God, it's looking like Ebay is my best option, and that just fills me with dread.

So, what would you, dear reader, pay for a:

1997 Saturn SC2 w/117k miles, never been in an accident
5spd manual transmission
cruise control
4 wheel antilock disc brakes
traction control
AM/FM stereo w/ CD player
relatively new tires
powered moon roof
teardrop '3' alloy wheels
rear spoiler
original manuals and keys (including the credit card wallet key)
all maintenance to current mileage done (all verifiable at any Saturn dealership with the VIN, as no one but Saturn has ever touched my car).
Current VA Safety and Emissions inspections.

I don't even know what to ask.

EDIT: Took [livejournal.com profile] missysedai's suggestion, and dropped it into Kelly's site:

Which is pointless to link to, as Kelly won't let you bookmark a value.

And out of curiousity, I plugged the VIN off the credit card key in my wallet into carfax, and it returned [livejournal.com profile] robeli's SL2 that we traded in on the minivan a little over 2 years ago now. Apparently, I gave them the wrong emergency key. So scratch the above about having it. I have the emergency access key to a car we no longer own. I'll turn it in to Saturn on Friday when I drop mine off for it's 117k service (It hasn't had that one yet, but it's scheduled for Saturday morning).

EDIT: Ah, the joys of [livejournal.com profile] missysedai's Magic Mirror and Mushroom Emporium:

While looking at the mirror, this is what we saw )
