Kelly Blue Book values are: $8,000 trade-in and $11,585 retail. Now the trade-in is obviously much less than you want, but you have to face the fact that when you sell your car or trade it in, you're going to get screwed unless you can find someone that will pay a good price that you like. I found this out this past summer because I traded in my old car for my 97 328is--it's a lose-lose situation when it comes to selling your car, unless you have a rare one like a M5 or something. So, I would recommend puttin it up for like $11k-$11.5k OBO and see what happens...if no bites, then drop it and go from there. Again, good luck!
