as there is snow right now, ask $5000.00 for it and settle for the best you can get in your area. saw an apex in the autotrader with15000km on it and the guy still wanted $9000 for it. get what the market will bear. replacing it with newer but same sled?

The trouble with using Craigslist and other similar sites to gauge value is the prices are all over and you never know what they sell for.
(Seeing someone trying to sell a coat hanger for $50 on CL doesn't mean you have $3000 of coat hangers in your closet.
eBay is the best way to see what something actually sells for.
Put some similar sleds in your eBay watch list. Go back later when the auction ends, that will show you what someone is actually willing to pay for one. More accurate than any of the price lookup type tools.
You can also look at the number of bids to see the demand. Is it two or three guys fighting each other over the item, or are there 15 active bidders that were close to the top price.
eBay is really to use to find out price and demand of anything.
One thing that also might bite you a little is being the last carb'd year. No one looking at 2006 is thinking of moving up to the FI models, but with the 2009 some people will be thinking of moving up 1 year.
No matter what snow helps, which we have now. I hope it all works out for you.
