i think its a sweet ride , why are you selling it or wanting to . I think keep it . But i think you would probably get about 17000 for it if you sold it .

Well the car sits in the garage for the most part. My wife doesn't want to have anything to do with it and my kids don't want to work on it with me. I was maybe thinking of buying a RV for the family to go camping with. The car has over 10,000 dollars worth of modification on it. So if someone was to buy it ( I have most all the stock parts ) they could put it back to stock and make a but load of money selling off all the HP parts. Plus all the parts are high grade stuff. kooks, Texas speed, BMR, UMI, NItrous outlet and basically a **** ton of top of the line goodies. I don't know If I will sell it or not but just testing the waters.

I think you would be wise to keep it if you don't have to sell. The market is very weak for modded cars, even award winning low mileage ones. All you will realize (most likely) is a typical price guide value with no additional $$ for the mods. As you are aware, very few people have that kind of money on hand. Getting a loan for an 11 year old modded car is next to impossible unless it is a home equity loan or something similar. Your buyer's market will consist of younger males that just don't have that financial opportunity to purchase your car.
On a side note, I think you would miss this car BIG TIME within 1 year. If you can, store it for 6 months and re-visit your thinking in mid-summer. If you still want to sell, then the decision is right. Best of luck!

Family comes first.

Mostly everyone will say keep it cus we have a different perspective. But if you think you can spend your time and money on more important things in life, id go for that instead.

Dont let us make your decision for you though.
