Semi-retiring in overseas. Thoughts on whether to export or sell my GSF?

I'm going to put a damper on what some of the other people are saying; i don't think you should expect $55k for your car. It's beautiful and well taken care of, but i don't think you'll get a lot of premium for the PPF (more value than you would get for other mods relative to their price, but you wont be getting an extra $5k for that). a 2016 with 20k miles on it in good condition will probably go for around $45k-$50k.
One thing I have learned in life was, trying to sell something quickly and out of desperation is a really bad idea as far as my net profit is concerned. Sometimes you have no choice, but I am in no rush to move overseas until I get a fair value for my house and car.

Why don't you put it on the market for the price you want for it now? Since Covid has shut down a lot of new car productions, demand is quite high right now. If you don't get the price you want, bring it with you to Russia.
If you are not going to drive it, I think you should sell it. Better let it go to someone who can use it.

If it was me, I'd sell the car. The logistics of getting it over there, with no damage and then keeping it safe, in Russia, of all places would give me chills. I LOVE my GS F, but it's just a car. Yeah, it's on the rare side and it would be super neat to see it over in Russia, but unless you'd be able to keep it REALLY safe and stretch its legs every once and awhile, I'd just sell it. I'm sure you can find something over there to have fun with. I bet there are some small cars that are nimble and quick. Or maybe even some motorcycles, since they have a lot of them over there. As for what your car is worth, I'd start at $51,000 and wouldn't take a penny less than $47K. They are not making the GS F any more, so good luck finding a NA V8. These cars still hold decent value and anyone shopping for one knows that it's better to pay a bit more for a super well maintained, minty one like yours. Just my $0.02. Good luck on your new journey!

Don't get me wrong. I'm not bashing America for the cost of living, economy, lifestyle, etc. I served my country in the military and worked hard throughout my life(multiple jobs at once for many years to get ahead), but I realized I was wasting my years away by only working, rather than enjoying what life had to offer.... Having a $2k monthly income in Russia is same(or actually better due to the low cost of everything) as making $10k a month in silicon valley.
Low cost of living, healthy food, friendly people(don't trust the American media. Majority of media outlets are heavily manipulated to adhere to their agenda. Experience other parts of the world yourself, rather than being brainwashed by the media demonizing other countries), beautiful women, beautiful city, and it was just a no brainer for me.

Awesome thread that really puts one's life in perspective.
Do you mind me asking how old you are and what you did for a living?
If it were me, i'd sell the GSF before leaving for russia.

Well, I think you can use KBB to value your car or add $2k more base on the CARMAX value. I don't think rich people would buy used car and for poor people like me, won't like to put $50K cash for a car at this moment.

try vroom, caravana and algo. You’ll prob get $46k on one of those but I think you can get rid of car privately for $50k.
