Researching a little further, I found that some insurance companies
supposedly use autotrader.com to find vehicle values. A search for 2001
Chevy Prizm's within a 500 mile radius yeilded 84 results with a high of
$7,995, low of $2,500, and an average of $5,337. I don't think $3000 was a
reasonable offer.
