Anyone sold their modded S recently?
I am considering selling my car in order to free up some capital for purchasing my first home, however I am unsure what kind of prices people are getting for s's in the area. More importantly my car is modified and I am unwilling to go through the tedious process of parting it out.
Basically, I am curious is anyone has sold a modified S recently and how the market for them is. Any info would be appreciated!

Some other helpful info would be how many miles, year, condition, depending on if you want to sell private or to a dealer.
If you're selling private mods would be nice to list as well. I've seen them go for as low as 7 and as high as 25

I would want to sell private.
Mods:

CR Front Lip and Rear Spoiler
Lightweight flywheel and upgraded clutch (can't remember details off the top of my head)
Seibon Mugen Style CF Hardtop
AEM Gauges - Boost, Oil Press, Water Temp, Oil Temp, AFR
Probably some more stuff i can't think of.

Unfortunately, and contrary to what many people want to believe, mods add little to no value to a car. If anything, they detract from the value. Selling a highly modded S like yours isn't easy. To get a ball park, find our the price for a stock 2006 with your mileage, and then maybe add $1-2k for the turbo, at best, assuming you find a buyer that actually wants the mods you made.
I'd guess $15k is a fair asking price for what you have. You'd be better off putting in the effort and parting out the mods, and then selling the stock car for $13-14k.

Highish mileage + turbo you may have a hard time finding a buyer willing to pay a decent price.

To the person who asked about the hard top, I would either sell it with the car or keep the whole car. The car has no soft top, so I can't really sell the top separate.
Thanks for the replies everyone, I appreciate the info!

I was in this same situation when I sold my first S2000. You would definitely have to find the right buyer.
As for the Hardtop. You can have whoever wants to buy the hard top, give their Soft top if they are willing to part from it and knock off a few hundred. Obviously, you would have to want to do all of that.
