You jest surely
You've either and/or been there too long.........been brain washed

I sold my 2003 TD5 (pic Above) about 6 months ago for $27k. It had 108k on the clock, B/bar, snorkel, warn winch, Tinted windows and was in excellent condition. Dealer said he would give me $18k-22k as a trade. Took 2 weeks to sell it parked out on the highway near my house.The lady that brought it said it was by far the dearest one she had looked at but also in the best condition. I was happy with that. $5k-7k better that a trade.

Just sold my 1997 300Tdi with 150K on the clock with a good few spares for 18 grand.
From the interest generated from my adv. I reckon I could have got a bit more.
Just don't sell them to dealers for what their Red book says, advertise on carsales.com with pics as it appears to be a good efficient way of getting a reasonable price.
