I have to tell you that $8500 is a very poor deal. Last year at exactly this time, I traded in a 99 frontier, 4X2, 4 cylinder for the X I have now and got exactly $8500 that much. Trust me, it had no bells or whistles. I can't see how the car market would have changed that much in a year, but who knows. I'd try a couple of other places to see what they'll give you for it.
