What would you say my car may be worth with the mods listed. Can't get pics up, but in mint condition other than a little carpet wear on the driver mat (can be replaced). And with the mods in siggy.

Car only has 36k miles on it.

Around here (Saint Augustine/Jacksonville), $7k to $8k for quick sale (14 days or so), and maybe $10k if you wait for the right buyer. KBB says it's private sale value is $9505, trade-in is $7600. I paid $12k (private sale in JAX) for my '03 with 30k miles over 3 years ago.

Private sales of cars in the $7k to $10k+ price range are difficult, cash buyers are rare, and financing can be difficult for many/most buyers...

the thing that sucks about cars is you never get what you put into it. even with mods most people look at the kbb value. selling it to a private owner they maygive you more than kbb. but id say you should get at least 8-9k for it

+1, I always laugh when dealers and others refer to cars as "investments".

Investments appreciate in value as time passes, in real dollars cars never appreciate--with very few exceptions even so-called "classic" cars are worth a fraction of what they cost in adjusted dollars--although actually it's the dollars that have shrunk...
