Our 1996 auto 4-cyl netted $3K selling it ourselves, and took, oh, a month and a half to sell.

My '95LX (V6, auto) = $1150 trade value. $4270 selling it myself. That's not too bad. I didn't pay that much for it when I bought it, and since then it's got new wheels, tranny, exhaust, front brakes, radiator...the list goes on.
