Pricing help
So, I've been throwing around the idea of moving on.. Only thing really stopping me is because I still owe a bit of money on the car..
The question is, how much do you think i can realistically sell my car for?
Car: 2003 Mustang GT (started as an automatic) w/80k miles. Been to a few soloII's, 1 hpde, and 1 track day.
Here are some pics and mod list.
Mod list is kinda long.. gonna quote it so it's easier to skip if you want to.
Thanks guys, lmk if there is anything else that may affect the price.

sick car man.
and like everyone said on this, and the last guy's post who asked how much his car is worth. its worth what someone is willing to pay for it. you WILL NOT be able to recoup much, if any of your aftermarket pieces. the car will still LIKELY sell for what its worth, as a 03 gt with 80k miles. there is always someone out there willing to pay a little extra for a modded car, but no one is going to be beating down your front door for you to recoup your play money.
if you sitll owe a lot of money on the car, selling it and going upside down or barely breaking even, then having to buy another vehicle may not be financially sound for you. if your debating selling it, then throw a few adds up on craigslist and autotrader and see what happens. you don't have to sell it if you don't get the price thats right for you. but dont expect a significant amount more money than what KBB value is just because you've emptied your wallet into it.

I appreciate all the kind words guys, I'm just trying to see my options atm. I know what someone is willing to buy it for and what I would like is nowhere near each other but I am just weighing options.. I'm just unsure if I want to keep it or not.. if I do I will most likely end up finishing the car (engine/turbo) if not I'll be getting an sti (would love the space of the wagon + it's still somewhat sporty)
