My wife and I are moving to NYC in July and we’re probably going to get rid of both cars. Honestly, how much would YOU pay for this: a white '96 Mazda Protege LX, 4 door, automatic, 90,000 miles (I know, it’s a lot), runs perfectly fine though, no body damage… I just want to get some ideas of what I should ask for… thanks! ---

why not try [Kelly Blue Book](http://www.kbb.com) to figure out what you should ask. You can also try stuff like [Auto Trader](http://www.autotrader.com) to see what other people are asking for a similar car. I personally don’t know what to tell you. ---

[edmunds.com](http://edmunds.com) also is one of the better places to get a quote as they do it by area of the country you are in. [ebay.com](http://ebay.com) has a car auction section.
