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.
I know mods add no value unless sold to a very specific type of buyer. I mainly don't want to be hassled with parting it if I do sell it.

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'd sell my softtop for a little less although my tear is slightly larger.

To be blunt, modded S2000's are at a severe price disadvantage over original cars.

Look at the disparity here:

The fact is that there are just not that many original cars left out there. Combine this with the risk of poorly done mods, and you are behind the eight ball.

Good luck with your sale.

Just an FYI, I just sold mine yesterday, pretty much stock. 03' 94.5k miles for $13.5 I know its not a big help but it might give you a baseline. I had mine on the market for about 2 months. Not really trying hard to sell it either. Buyer came off CL but ended up being a s2ki person already. Pretty odd.
