What's a car with a seized engine worth?

[patrick1972]

I thought about dousing my 1998 Rodeo LS with gasoline and taking a match to it but then figured I may as well ask if it was worth anything anymore. The engine seized the other day. I heard the bearings break free while driving down the highway. Made it a stoplight just in time for it to clunk to a halt. And then there was silence, except for the telling 'click click click' as I tried to turn it over.

Anyhow, trashed engine aside, is this SUV still worth anything? Where should I try to sell it? It has leather seats, good tires, etc. Am I better off with one of those cash-on-the-spot-and-tow-it-away deals from a junkyard? If the engine were still good, Kelley Blue Book estimates it would still be worth about $4K. Now what's it worth? An ipod and a box of Franzia zinfandel?
