Default Upgrading from the EL

Hey folks

I'm looking into moving up from the EL GLi to (hopefully) an AU Fairmont.
It's done 200,000 kms and is in good condition except for the rear end which has some dings (rear bumper & boot lid). Front end looks great.

Mechanically there are no problems what so ever.
Only mod is an AU XR Tickford snorkel and the engine has not been thrashed.

It's an Ex Chaser so it has the improved instrument cluster (sensors, speed tick marks and speedo adjustment), better BEM and some factory go fast bits.

Can anyone give me a rough idea of what I would expect privately and what I would get for a trade in? Sorry I don't have a pic available at the moment.

Thanks

Yeah $5000 would be nice considering I paid $9000 two years ago. Geez where does the value go?
