According to Kelley Blue Book, you should be able to sell it to a private party for $35,960. Although I feel for you having to get rid of it, I don't know how much sympathy I can give to someone who drives a 97, bl/bl Porsche 911, you lucky dog. This would be like someone who was dating Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz at the same time and wants us to feel bad that he has to give one up but keep the other. 
Seriously though. Bummer that you have to drive an Impala.

A 2008 535 will be able to sell for way more than $36,000 I believe.

It's only 30k. That's not that much. Plus it has Sport Package.
I really do appreciate the different opinions on pricing...high and low...thanks guys.

Wait, if its only worth 30k why the hell would they make you sell it? Just to buy an Impala for 30k? WTF? Makes NO sense.

I would get the company car and try to sell your 535 and just park it until someone pays you what you want for it - even though the market might be soft, there will always be a buyer.
Or, you can sell your 911 and keep the 535 as your weekend car.
