A good resource would be to go to Kelly Blue Book (http://www.kbb.com). According to the info you have listed in your signature, the car would be worth aprox $10,000 US through a private sale (please realize that this value is on the high side and is based on a car in perfect condition, fully loaded and on the west-coast of the US - yes, where in the US does factor in the value of a vehicle). Buying a similar car from a dealership would be higher and the trade-in value (wholesale cost) would be much less. If you have some added options that would increase the value a little. Hopefully that helps.
