Default I need some suggestions! selling car

well its time to let my car go, im graduating college this semester and getting engaged this august, so i need to sell my baby! so i needed some opinions on how much i should ask for my car. remember i have totally love this car, and took care of it for 1.5 years that i did have the car. i dont want to sell this car, but i need money plus all the money i earned working as a part time went to my car. i mean all of it!!! yes i love the car.. i bought the car totaly stock, when i mean tottally stock i meant totally stock. i have gained a lot of knowledge here, from alot of members, and ive spend more times on here sometimes then on my homework and class work! lol.. i'll list what i have, im preety sure ill forget something
but please do notice with my 350z my goal was to keep it stock as possible look, meaning Sleeper!!!

but here is what ive done to the car:

2003 350z Enthusiast
Mileage: 39,xxx
Color: SS, 6sp

Engine / exhaust
- APS ST KIT
* i have it tuned for 9lb of boost at 360rwhp, and 360tq
* i know its low number with all the aps stuff i have, it has more potentional, but do keep in mind i go to school everyday, its like 40miles commute from home and school, and i didnt want any problem, and i dont want any engine problem. i have had the turbo on the car for about 3,800 miles, im keeping track of it with my millages..but i like the power it has right now.

- intercoller, is sprayed flat black for sleeper look, no body can tell it has a intercooler lol.
- APS Plenum Spacer (painted flat black)
- Nismo oil cap
- nismo radiator cap
- aps st Exhaust (hard to find)

Trans:
- RPS MAX Clutch
- RPS 3 Segmented Flywheel

Interior:
- blitz electronic boost controler ( installed in the sunglass box for sleeper look) ( monitor boost and adjust boost)
- sound system, stock cd player
-aline type r component speakers, coaxial speakers, and alpine type r 10" sub, with understrut box
-doors and trunk fully dynamated for clear sound
- one mono alpine amp for sub, and one v12 alpine cross over amp for mids and highs.
- 7: inche wide screen installed in cubby hole, professionally done, people still thinks its a navigation, and ofcourse back up camera installed by license plate

Exterior:
- carbon fiber hood plain
- REAL VIS carbon Lip ( little bit scuffed up from bottom, but not bad at all)
- S2000 short antenna
- I love my Nissan Decal, and 2 nismo decal
- i added the oem spoiler ss

wheels:
- hawks non brembo pads ( 3 months old)
-18" Nismo Bronze wheels and knock on wood no DAMn curb marks or scrapes..
- tires are falken 452 , 245-40-18 in front ( more then 90% thread left, and 275-40-18 in rear( more then 80% thread left)
- i got tein s-tech springs installed in rear, but not in the front..the only reason i dont have the front one installed is becuase im scared to scraped the VIS carbon fiber lip badly, even though i cant still tell that the back is lowered, i still have lowered the front. and plus i have to park on my driveway, because my home association wnt let park outside my house by the curb.


additional:
i have got only one oil change since i got the turbo at 2500 miles with mobile one 10w-30. i check my oil every two days
* i have never took it to the track
* i just got the aps kit installed end of FEB 07, most people on this forum can vouch for me, plus i have a thread in FI with my results. search it
* even though its water cool turbo, i still cool my car down for about a minute, everytime. its a pain since i dont have a turbo timer. lol
* i gaurantee you, there is nothign wrong with the car, everything works fine.
* i hate to see it go, but im graduation and need money for my engagement and in future im sure ill get another Z.

please suggest!!! sorry if i forget anything to mention, please let me know, then i will post it up

This belongs in the marketplace.
Sounds like an exceptional 350Z. Put it on eBay and see where the bidding goes.

You'll be MUCH better off parting the car out and selling it separately unless if you just HAPPEN to find that right person with enough spare cash to pay for all of it together. Otherwise you'll lose a ton of money if you sell as is.

ebay would be the best place to try and sell... especially not a 350z board...

or put back to stock, sell to car-max, and sell all the parts off...

x10

I'd say back 2 stock and sell the parts will give the better results.

Modding is soooo fun until it comes time to sell it. Unless you find someone hunting for a modded Z, say "good night" to your re-sale value

Mods don't add value to the car. Your going to be hard pressed to sell it for more than the stock car would be worth.

Start the part out. What do you want for the wheels and tires?
