Hey ive just got alot of back pay at work and ive decided to buy a nice new car. But that means ive got to sell my old one. Could anyone give me a rough guess how much its going to be worth ?

Arden Blue
93K Miles
New headgasket + skim + bolts, timing set, cambelt, waterpump, exhaust valves and some more things i cant remember. These were all done 300 miles ago and im still going steady on the gas till around 500 miles.
Colour Coded eyebrows
Blue rear lights
Debadged
Mesh Grille + Irmscher Badge
14" TSW alloys + alright tread on tyres (nothing to brag about i know but got to say)
Peco 3" Exhaust
This car also has the features -
Electric Heated Wing Mirrors
Air-Con
ABS
Bad Points -
Few dings along sides that will pull out.
Rust on rear right handside arch.
Rust on rear wiper.
Lots of stone chips on Bonnet and underneath rust.
Chips and bodged up colouring in on where kickplates go (doesnt have kickplates they are just in that area)
Could someone give me a rough guess because ive got to start looking for new cars 
Thanks Alot.
