Nice SC!!!
I'm not very good at guessing for car prices, but I'd say between $15,000-$17,000. I know you spent alot of money on the car, but you don't always get what you paid for back. You don't know what you plan to get next? How 'bout a nsx? It's just a suggestion.

Don't sell Din....unless its to a forum member. I have seen how folks trash good show cars (personally) that alot of work has been put into. Good luck on your decision and sale.
I could not even guess a price range for that car....its sick

Din, that has to be one of the best paint jobs I've ever seen. It looks like you could immerse your hand right into the paint! My guess is that you could get over $20k for it, but only from the right person. Most people will not appreciate how much went into the car and will probrably start shouting out Kelley Blue Book numbers at you. In that case I'd tell them to go F&%K themselves!
Again.....great looking car

That's the key, the right person. As beautiful as it is, most will not care how much you spent. A few weeks ago a guy offered me 17k. That's not bad. But I told him I had 50k miles on it and I gave him a breakdown of how much I've spent. He then realized it was worth more and backed off. We know this car is still a baby with 130k miles, but that will hurt a little. After saying this, my guess would be $21k. I took off some for the Gucci and miles. I was offered 10k in trade at the dealer...they hinted they would go up because of the low miles. They said mods mean nothing in trade but will help them get a premium price for it. Sell private only or keep it.

I agree with alot of the guys here the only way you should sell it is if its to a member (or private purchaser) that is willing to pay a premium for the mods. It is unfortunate, but when selling a car, the value of the mods mean next to nothing.
If you are not offered the price you want, I would say part it out. You stand a better chance of selling it stock with a awesome paint job and 97 update, and getting 3k extra for that. Then you could sell the mods and yadda yadda
Good luck

It's a shame. Your car is so beautiful. I gotta agree- that paint is about the best I have ever seen, I almost like it better than black-almost, part it out and sell it unless you can find the right person to buy it. It is such a shame that Blue books, Black books, NADA books determine what the value of a car is based mainly upon, the miles, years old, closeness to stock condition, and factory options only 
What about the CUSTOM OPTIONS?????????????????

yeah i know mods dont mean a thing. If i do decide to sell id 1st try to find a buyer that knows about mods and stuff, if not part everything out then sell the car close to stock as possible. I duno it would be really hard to let the car go but i really want another project to work on. Decisons. Im thinkin about gettin a GS or even maybe a 99-00 S class.
greenspan pm me with ur iqurys.

yeah so far ive won 11 trophys in the Lexus or Luxury class, and my car is prob gettin boring to look at , at theses local shows so its either i change it up with new paint, body kit, turbo etcetc. I could dump another 10k on turbo, body kit and new paint or jsut get a differnt car and work on that.
