Wow, what a sweet one-owner, low mileage Formula. I know you made the car just the way you wanted it, but now that you want to sell, it is going to be tougher. A 'stock' 2002 Formula in very good to excellent condition would easily command a $13,000 - $14,000 price with those low miles. With the mods you still might get that price but it could take a bit longer unless you get lucky. The buyer's market is much more limited once you make those performance changes as you have eliminated most women and many middle aged men who prefer 'stock'. Despite the extremely low mileage, buyers are wary of these modded machines. Unfortunately (financially speaking) your buyer's market will be made up of younger males that generally don't have the cash or the ability to get a $10,000+ loan on a 10 year old modded car. You will need to find that one buyer that loves your mods and has the ability to pay.
Let's hope it happens for you but if you get no activity in that price range you may have to take less. Lower the price in $500 increments if you have the time and patience if no responses in the first two weeks. GLWS!
