What's she worth? S90-V90

I think its time to sell the old girl. She's a 97 s90 with about 191K on her. I'm curious about what a car with this many miles is really worth. Edmunds says about 3 grand. Is this pricing realistic? The car is in good shape mechanically, I spent some time working on it last fall and it also has new tires and is running very smooth especially for the miles on her. For the many miles we have put on the car, it has been very reliable, never stranded us once. Engine and drivetrain are all original. Paint is so so, the clearcoat is peeling in spots and the front bumper has some cosmetic damage but there is no rust and she tracks very nicely down the road.

I really wanted to get that 200K badge, but we really dont use the car much to warrant keeping it around. If anybody is interested or if you can give me some pricing feedback it would be much appreciated.

    A car is worth as much as a buyer is willing to pay.

    Such said, check up KBB, cars.com, and closed eBay auctions for estimates what similar cars are going for. Use those for a reference.

    The cars worth more than the blue book but who is going to pay that for a vehicle with the miles the cars can roll up. A well maintained 960 can really go along way as we both know-mine will be turned over to my son in the middle of the summer-his first car-main reason I'm doing all I can in the last few months to make her as reliable as possible- I know that kids are rough on cars and I want this one to be ready for what comes down the pike.
    Do you have a family member who needs good transportation-might be a good venue to look at-might not sell the car for whats she worth but you may get a lot out of it knowing the cars in good hands and you have helped someone.
