I seriously doubt a dealer would give you anything more than low book for it. Also I'm sure most dealers wouldn't even accept it. The only real market IMO, is at the enthusiast level.

I don't even know why people trade cars in at the dealer anyways? A dealer on average is going to give you 2-3k less then you would get by selling it private party.
