Unless you find someone who knows nothing about these cars and is purchasing it, I'd say you could probably get 13-14 on here

Yeah man it sucks...Your sounds Badass!!! I've put together maybe 20 cars in my life and very seldomly do the ones I heavily modfiy bring in the big money. I think it's because people have the fear that you have beaten your car, and know your done with it.

I personally don't beat on my cars. I've had 10 second Mustangs before and only ran them at the track 3-4 times before selling them, and went back through them before selling.

I would suggest to put it back to stock, sell off your performance parts..You'll make the most money this way. Keep a couple bolt-ons like exhaust on ther..But don't leave Nitrous on there, that just doesn't look good.

Good Luck.

Of course your price is fair. So aren't about 1/2 the posts in this section with really nice cars with even less miles and modded similar to yours, if not more so. They are NOT selling for decent money. Period! What your car is worth and what you realistically can sell it for are two different animals in these difficult economic times. DJFURY05 (posted above) is probably spot on and even then you will be very fortunate to get it. Think about it. Your modded car appeals to who? Younger folks who have limited funds. Loans for your nearly 10 year old car? Tough sledding. $19,000 is really dreaming but ask whatever you are comfortable with. Just don't be shocked if the phone isn't ringing.

Unfortunately the OP is in denial if the car is still listed at $19,000. I earlier posted about worth and real world sales prices. I have not seen any of his ads other than what was posted above. It can come as quite a shock to know that so much of the money invested in your car can not be retrieved at selling time. It is a harsh reality (as seen in quite a few posts here over the past few months) unless you are one of the fortunate few exceptions. Never any harm in asking though. It's his time.

Start at $13k. Probably end up getting less than $10k. This will still take much time to sell. If you start at $10k you might sell it within a few months.

While miles and year help, you have put a nitrous setup on this car. That is devastating for a sale. No one in their right mind will pay more than $10K for a car someone has been running to death on a 150 shot, and heavily modded to boot.

I wish you luck, you got a badass car there, but for reference I just bought my 99 Z M6, mint inside and out with 20,000 less miles than yours for $7600 and the dealership couldn't be happier to get it sold. The market is terrible right now and our cars are suffering because of it.

OP, why did you even ask our opinion if you're just gonna do what you want anyways? Are you looking for some sort of justification of your price? You wont get it here. You have sprayed that motor and told us about it. That's like saying, "I just busted a nut in this hooker 5 minutes ago, anyone else wanna **** her?" just my opinion..

agreed with whats above. its only worth what someone will pay you for it, not what you put into it. no one wants a modded nitrous car for that price because they dont know how much life is left in it. I hope you didnt buy the car thinking you could make money on it in a few years, its always going to depriciate.
Hell, I bought my 01 ta with 47k two years ago for 12,500 only mods were slp exhaust and a k/n fipk. Today its got 20k more miles and a magnaflow set up and I'd be lucky to get 9k for it. which is ok cause i dont plan on selling. I could of added h/c/i and all the drivetrain mods and I still wouldnt expect more than 10k. now, 30 years from now I bet I could get some serious coin, but right now they are not collectors.

Oh my gosh, you really are an angry man. Maybe it would be best that you just keep your car. You are afterall asking for the opinions of other Tech members. Do not get upset, not everyone will have something constructive to say regarding your question in your opinion.
