Default Change back to stock or keep - 06 GT

I am considering selling my 06 GT with 71K on it. I was thinking of asking 13,500 for it. Does that seem reasonable?
Motor is all stock. Only appearance mods have been done besides the boom tubes.
I am shooting for a private sale so should I return the car to stock or keep it as is?

Stock: peeling off stripes on fenders, putting rear spoiler back on and changing the boom tubes back to stock muffles and peeling the plasti-dip off the wheels.

the tail lights are tinted so I will probably leave that and the emblems are all black, also leave (if it wont sell I will consider buying stock badges again.)

Thanks in advance for all the help/feed back

For private sale I would keep it as is and just make note that you have the factory parts and that the black stripes and plasti-dip come off. You never know, someone might have similar taste as you.

Now if you end up trading it in at a dealer; back to stock 100%

Yeah I'd leave it how it is and try to sell it. I had to settle for 15,000 for my 2007 with 27,000 miles on it last year. i had a bunch of performance mods on it, and boomtubes, window louvers, shorty antenna, side stripes. it was a base model with an automatic, interior upgrade package and shaker 500.

I think you should be able to get 13,500, depending on factory options maybe more if its a premium model.

I would peel that tint off your tail lights. You could be held liable if the new owner gets rear ended, because the other driver couldn't see his brake lights!

I would leave as is, then add to the price if it costs you time or money to change for a potential buyer.

If I were in the market for a used sports car it would have to be low mileage and bone stock. Yours is neither, and I honestly believe that 13.5k is the max you can get. With that kind of mileage I see 10k bids all over and you settling for 11.

If its easy to do, I would pull those stripes and maybe the tint off the tails if its not perfect.
