I dont know, but I doubt torquing a new oil washer to exactly 29ft lbs. is going to add value. The washer should be replaced each time anyways. I'd say around $18.5 though.

Just making a point about the high standard it was maintained to since new. Obviously NOT trying to add the cost of a washer.

Try to find comparable ads in your local area.

People on this forum tend to think the value is much lower than what I found in seattle.

How much do you want to sell it for? If it is a GPW, I'm sure you can get what you are asking in terms of price. Other then that you'll be lucky to get more then TMV.

You are better off driving and enjoying the car.

I think there's diminishing value on low mileage cars that aren't super rare or collectible (though I think like an article that posted here several months back, the S is a "future classic").

Once you break the low mileage, I don't think there's going to be a huge additional value in the used market for 50% average, or even 90% average. In this case, the Honda reliability (add quotes as needed) makes average use (for late[r] model cars) kind of a non-issue.

For reference, what I considered was my great deal, back in Nov '08 was my 2007, very clean S with 10.8K miles for $19,995.
