Where in canada are you? Possiblly one of my friends may be interested. Automatic transmission hurts value unfortunatly to some extent. Insurance appraisals for value are inflated pretty bad usually in my experience. Unless they are trying to settle a claim. Then their valuations all of a sudden become a little more than half of the true value. The exception is pre arranged policys like silver wheels in canada where they pay pre arranged appraised value of course with no haggling. Checking the ebay site may give you a better ideal of what they are going for. Also strange as it is the colour seems to have some bearing on who might want it. Sounds like a fairly good car.
