Considering parting with my Malibu. I'm just curious what would be a reasonable starting point to ask for it if I did decide to sell? The swap is fully complete and has less than 500 miles on it since completed. All parts are new except for the engine which had 90k on it.

Pics added. Need to take some better ones, but these are all I had on hand. One before the hood and one after. It has full interior as well, which I would rate as fair for the age as well, maybe 6-7/10.
