Wow....
I got an offer of "upto" $2700 for it from some on line place...the KBB
is between 5 and 7k, I put it at the low-end due to two dents in the
plastic bumpers.
For a "few hundred dollars" I would donate it to charity or give it away.

know it's value.
With that kind of mileage, if it needs any work at all you will be
lucky to get an offer. Even if everything works and there is nothing
need doing the mileage will frighten off 99 percent of buyers unless
you have something like a pickup truck, which are always saleable, or
a MBZ , PORCHE or some other esoteric vehicle, or a classic like a
69 Dodge Charger R/X.
Other then that you will probably sell to some guy with a few hundred
dollars who needs a reliable car to drive to work and back....
assuming yours is a reliable running car. If somebody offered me
anything for a car with that kind of mileage I would take it. And if
you find you can't sell it and just need to get rid of it there is
always salvage.
