You can get an estimate of what a car is worth by looking up its value in the Kelley Blue Book, which can be found at most financial institutions, libraries, and online at www.kbb.com. If you decide to sell your vehicle yourself, you might also call local dealers in your area and find out how much they are asking for cars like yours.
