Default How Much Would My Car Be Worth?

I definitely want to sell the car due to financial problems, but dont want to give it away at a low price. Interested in what people on this board think I can get the car for. Also, is it better to put the car back to stock or sell it with all the mods.

Here are the specs:

- 2003 Silverstone S2000 (bought in August 2003)
- Black Interior
- less than 15,000 miles so far
- Vortech Supercharger (dyno 300whp)
- Bilstein PSS coilovers (have stock suspension as well)
- ACT street disc heavy duty clutch
- Clear headlights
- Everything else is stock.
- Car has never been in any type of accident
- Still under warranty for at least another year

My 03 with 20k miles blue books for 22000 on a dealer trade in...so maybe 23500-26000 if u sell it privately...however, thats assuming it's stock. Mods typically decrease value. You'd probably be able to pick up some good money by parting out ur s'charger and suspension. That would at least be the way i'd do it...

Definately part it out. You won't lose as much $$$ that way...

Tough to sell a car with mods. Bring it back to stock then sell it.

I guess not many people like a used car already with mods

Nope. Just ask yourself this: Would you buy a car from someone you didn't know that has already tinkered with the car? Sell it stock and sell the parts in the For Sale forum. Shouldn't have too much trouble...looks like you have well chosen parts for your car

Things i would take off your car:
-Super Charger
-Coilovers

Im looking to get around 27-28K, but Im gonna take everyone's advice and part with the mods. It'd be easier to sell the car stock I guess.
