We got $5500 trade in for it and got the 2013 Accord at invoice.
About a week later we are at the dog park and we see an Asian family pull up in our old car , I told him it was my old car and asked how much he paid for it.
He said he paid $11,400 for the car OTD with extended warranty. I know the dealer listed the car for 1 day at $8999 and it sold quick.
I didn't have the heart to tell him we only paid $12,500 for it 8 yrs. ago, just goes to show you how they a dealer will really rip someone off.
$6000-$7500 would have been more appropriate price for the old sentra.

-I bought my 2001 WS.6 in 2007 for $13K +TTL. 72K on the odo.
-I traded it in in 2010 with 149K on the odo, a blown AC compressor, paint peeling off the hood, and took a trade vehicle instead of $7500 cash I was offered.
-They listed the car for $13,999 when I drove by a few weeks later (hood re-painted, AC fixed).
-They sold it for $8,XXX according to a sales rep there.
