Default What is my car worth? :'(

I have a dilemma here. My dad thinks I'm stupid to keep this car after the summer ends. I am going to college at Penn State in september, and there's no way I can drive it up there, likely not net year, MAYBE junior year. Even then its pretty much useless up there.
So here I am, I had been planning on storing it in my driveway, but now I am thinking what for? In 4 years, who knows what the car will be worth, and I will have only gotten about 12 months of use from it. Who knows what will happen to it while it sits in the driveway, what kind of wear that will put on everything. I'm sure that this $1000 tuneup I'm about to do is the first of many more to come, too.
Thinking about it economically, it is almost a no-brainer - I could save/make alot of money by getting out of it now and put that towards a nice car in 4 years. But really, am I that kind of guy? I think not. I love the car too much to see it go, right? God I hope so. I really dont know at this point.

So anyway, back on subject. What could I get for this car? '01 H-box, 6MT, stock ECU, mods listed below. 38k miles, alcantara, tint, wheels in excellent shape, body in excellent shape, interior in great shape (alcantara owners know what I mean) well maintained.

Default At 20K, I may know someone who would bite at the end of the summer.

although it may be to far for him to justify
