Default Thinking about selling the V Whats it worth?

Hello Everyone, I am thinking about selling the V. This car is in near perfect condition cosmetically, and absolutely perfect condition mechanically, with only 73,000+ miles. All original stock car with extremely rare sunroof delete that makes this car lighter than the others, with more headroom, no squeaks or rattles, and no leaks! There were only a few hundred sunroof delete first generation CTS-V's produced. Tires are like new, Not one scuff on rims, brembo brakes and rotors all the way around are brand new, new waterpump, interior looks and smells like new, never smoked in, absolutely no wear spots, tears or blemishes.. really in amazing condition. This car has the upgraded, stronger '06 - '07 differential installed by the dealer which is a $1,600 value. (part number 15793756) You won't have problems with it! Car is completely stock, nothing ever modified and absolutely never abused by me or the previous owners. Car shifts very smooth, no grinding, no leaks, no whining from the differential, no problems whatsoever. It has been my favorite car and I've owned.
This is the lightest version of the CTS-V, with about 3 inches of additional headroom, and no worries about a leaking roof. Car has new brakes and rotors all the way around, newer tires, Black leather interior looks and even smells brand new, no stains anywhere. Car was babied and never smoked in, but there are a few very small dings here and there as with any car of this age. No mechanical issues, no Check engine lights. Title is clean, but has 2 accidents in history, first one very minor dent in quarter panel, second one passenger fender, headlight, and hood was damaged. Moderate damage, no airbags ever blew. Everything works including heated seats, Navigation, memory seats, auto tilting mirrors. Let me know what its worth?

No offense, but this post comes off more like an advertisement to sell minus a listing price more than anything else. I think your subject line is misleading. Perhaps this would be more appropriate in the classified section?

After looking on KBB i would assume you are talking private party. if so and you had HIDs... I would expect anywhere from 17-19grand depending. But honestly used car market is up to demand.

NADA(more accurate but for my area in MD) lists it int eh following price ranges:

http://www.nadaguides.com/Cars/2004/...dard-Equipment

Rough $11,850
Trade-In Average $13,675
Trade-In Clean $15,200
Retail $18,775

rarity of the sunroof delete doesnt mean anything to the value in all reality. the V1 market has taken a huge hit in recent years (since the V2 came out). 04 with 73k, bone stock, i wouldnt expect much more then 16-17k out of it...which sucks ***. i want these cars to sell for a lot more then they are.

Thanks for telling us that a CTS-V has a "400hp Corvette Z06 derived LS6 engine and 6 speed manual transmission." I had no idea!!!

Finally read your first post. Any accident damage will lower the value of the car atleast 1-2,000 dollars. just a FYI for pricing.

Does the sunroof delete increase rear headroom or just front?

Looks good . Just based on the wordage and phone number used it really came across as an ad. Not usually a big deal, but since they've limited the classified section to keep new posters out, I've been weary of new people joining and simply beginning to post their ads here. I'm sure the mods would take care of it. Hopefully my post didn't come across as dick'ish. Since I was dinged recently for being rude to a potential seller, I've tried to be nice .

FWIW OP mine is pretty much completely stock except the exhaust and short shifter, 42k miles, and I was offered 21k a few weeks ago.
