I kinda have the same situation...but my gf's pregnant. However, I'm keeping the s2k. Perhaps something for you to consider? Unless finances don't permit.

You should have driven it more and enjoyed it while you could have. They most likely would have offered $19K if it was an '04 w/ 30K. It appears to me that the mileage really doesn't kill the value of an S as much as people believe.
Resale value be damned, ... drive it and enjoy it while you have it!
I have an '05 w/ 25K that I'll run past Carmax this weekend, I'll let you know what they offer.

I went to carmax today with my IS and the sales guy told me that they typically offer 5g's less than what they are going to sell it for, so if you find something comparable on their website subract 5g's and thats what they paid. Of course some of it depends on the model and condition and etc but I am sure they have a general formula but either way you'd make much more money selling it on your own

It's a better deal if your state lets you put trade in price towards another car (for tax relief). It can be worth an effective $1-2k higher (offsetting the hassle of selling privately sometimes).

Thanks for the input. I figure I can get more selling privately, but I am too busy to list.
