I sold my Protege5 last year for around 3k, so I've gone through it myself. Took about 5-6 people to come see it in person before a college kid took it home. It was about a 4 on the annoyance scale (mostly with people who act really into the car and then don't bother to get back to you after they say they will).
I'm pretty sure a dealer would've offered me $500-$1000 bucks, and sent it straight off to the wrecking yard. Atleast this way I maximized the value, and some one gets to keep enjoying the car. I hate to see good little cars go to waste (I was really not a fan of Cash for Clunkers in the US...way too many great cars were destroyed).
