Wow! 2,000 miles isn't much at all unless it was all at the drag strip. $10,000 in performance upgrades will be next to impossible to retrieve but try using the 'old formula' of 25% -33% of your mods cost (about $2,500- $3,300 in your situation) and add it on to that KBB figure you obtained. It doesn't mean you will get that money for your car but it is a valid ask price and you can negotiate from there. Lately, in these tough economic times, sellers have not been able to retrieve any of their mod money back or very little of it. That 'old formula' appears to be invalid right now. There are exceptions but with all the posts written here over the past year or so, it has been real tough sledding. Best of luck to you!

Id say 14500-16000 depending on mileagw on car. If you can provide paperwork of course on the motor. But thats optimistic. If you can get 12500-14500 id say is around ballpark
