2006 SS value?

I'm thinking about a new car and I would use my 2006 as a trade in. Wondering what a generic value might be. I feel a bit low balled and may just keep it instead.

2006 SS, stock aside from the slightly peeling chrome rims. No induction, yellow exterior, black leather interior in nice condition. 50K gentle miles and and no winter. New brakes, new stock tires. Wheel bearings about 40K. Synthetic oil changes at 3.5K always. Parking break cable needs some love on one side. Clean overall.

What should I be looking at for a rough price?

I was thinking that as well, but apparently that is not a trade value. I have 3 vehicles right now, so having 4 until I sell while working 60 hours a week, wasn't really part of the plan.

I'm looking at something turbo and AWD right off the lot, which might be mo betta than working on it for an extended period of time. I don't know, there is still time to decide.

You're always going to lose out on a trade in but then you don't have to deal with the hassle of selling it. If you want to get the most out of it you need to sell it outright.

Think there would be any interest in this particular model, being all yellow and naturally aspirated? I don't have a lot of time to accommodate test drives and what not, but it is in good shape for someone who may want to add on to it.
