$3000 is a fair price as long as there is $2000 in cash in the glove compartment that comes with it.
In all seriousness, I'm sure you took care of it as evidenced by your receipts and stuff. That being said, it is what it is, a 12 year old compact car with about 150K miles. So you're looking at about $1000 or best offer in a best case scenario. If it were a Civic or a Corolla, then your $3000 price would be more like the number, because Japanese engines bring more money.
Don't pay attention to the "bluebooks" or any of that shit, and WendysRox, you should know that. First, bluebooks (like NADA, Kelly, etc) are just guides more or less for insurance companies, and so that dealerships don't make a five thousand dollar mistake when appraising a trade in that they aren't familiar with. You, on the other hand, have a run-of-the-mill, 12 year old clunker (with all do respect). Its not a hard appraisal. Ask $1500 and see what you get. If no bites, then lower it by $100 every few weeks it doesn't sell.
Good luck

The Ford Escort is a crappy car. Asking $3000 for that lemon is about $2500 too much.
