Sorry to hear about your misfortune, however you probably wouldn't see 3K with a working engine.

I just punched in your numbers at Edmunds.com and as a rough 96 SE with 141K:

Average Trade: $899
Average Private Party: $1438
Average Retail: $2197

And given the glut of used cars after 0% financing, I'd say those are optomistic numbers.

You are about 210 miles from my house and if you decide you can't get the $3K you want, send me some e-mail with pics and we can talk about me buying the car for about $1K.

I am serious. I'm on call this week, so I couldn't get it until the weekend of Feb 9th.

E-mail both of my addresses with a phone and pics if you would like to unload it.
