Im getting my 02 gt, redfire, black leather, 5 spd. Longtube headers, full exhuast, new shifter, tb and plenum, brand new 315 nittos, FR 500 black deep dish rims.

46,000 miles

Im getting it for 8 grand, its a steal obviously but unfortnatly in my eyes, the more modding it is, the more it decreases a cars vaule.

I would start at around bluebook. The mods aren't going to add value to the car unless you find the right buyer. The fact that you have a warranty and most of the receipts is a good thing though. But like I said, start around bluebook.

Don't follow kbb...it is merely a guideline for people that don't want to figure it out. If someone is wanting a car with upgrades your mods will not hurt you but for the most part I would say mods wont really help your cause...you could take as many of them off as possible and put back the stock stuff, this way you can sell off the aftermarket parts for some extra cash. My dad is a used car manager and when I talk about kbb he always just tells me it depends on the car. With my car it is worth roughly 4k over kbb b/c it is in such good shape and has good miles on it. Easiest thing to do would be to look at different sites like autotrader and ebay and see what a car like yours is going for in your area. Best of luck!

+1

But when someone becomes interested in the car, negotiate different parts of the car with them...if they don't seem like some of the mods really excite them offer a little off to pull this and that or make it relatively stock and offer whoever buys it a price with whatever extras they want to buy. It's a win-win.
