It's a 2008 Hyundai Elantra SE. It doesn't have a moonroof or leather, but features include automatic transmission, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, heated mirrors, air conditioning, AM/FM Radio, XM Satellite Radio, CD Player, Aux Jack (for iPod or MP3 player), fog lights, 6-speaker audio system, cruise control, electronic stability control, alloy wheels, leather-wrapped steering wheel, audio controls on steering wheel, and rear spoiler. The buyer gets a 5-year/60,000 mile warranty from Hyundai.

I've put it on eBay, Autotrader, cars.com, and put signs in the car windows and haven't had much luck. Only a few potential buyers who then say that I'm asking for too much. I wanted $13,500 at first, but I'm now willing to go down ot $13,000. I paid about $17,000 for the car and with interest it came out to like $20,000. :(

I still owe $8800 on the car too.

Any effective selling methods out there I'm not aware of? I just paid to have ad put in my local newspaper, so hopefully that will be in there by Saturday.
Aye, $13,000 is way too much for that car. You reduced the price by 20% the moment you bought it. You said the car was about $17,000 so 20% off that brings it to $13,600. Considering the shape of the economy and that it is pre-owned, I say $10,000 is about the max you'll get.
