Well, I'm thinking about selling my Z. Not sure if I'm going to yet, but I have no idea what mods do to the price. In addition, there is some body damage.

I figured you guys would know a good ballpark range.

2008 Lime Green 350Z
Veilside 3 body kit (not wide body)
oem wheels
K&N Typhoon intake
Pioneer navi (I forget which model. If it matters, I can find out)

The front bumper is cracked beyond repair
My wife backed into my passenger side door >.< so there's some minor scratches/bumps there
Scratches/chips on the side skirts

I guess this would put it in the "fair" range for KBB, which would be about $17k stock.

So my question is... how much should I ask for and would it be better to fix up the body first?

Sad to say, the mods that cost so much and that we think so highly of can reduce the value of a car when selling. Yeah, it doesn't make any sense to me, either. For modded cars, you have to find a buyer who knows something about the mod. For a plain vanilla car, anyone interested in the year and model is a potential buyer...including those who plan to mod the car.

Fix the damage. Otherwise, you open a discussion on how much credit you need to give the buyer so that he/she can get the car fixed, etc., etc. Plus of course, it makes the car look less desirable and it's one more thing the buyer has to deal with after purchase. Fix the damage.

Good luck.

IMO, I highly doubt your mods will have any positive impact on how much you could get for it. I'd probably fix the damage first and go from there.

Thanks for the quick response. After putting the time and money into fixing it, I'll probably end up keeping it lol. Not that that's a bad thing

nobody really wants to buy mods or pay extra for them so you are better off taking them off and sellingn them separately.

as for the damage, some people won't want to deal with the hassle of getting it fixed and won't even be interested in the car. Others might be willing to fix it, but will want to discount the price a lot.

fix it, return it to stock form and get retail price for the car.

Worth $15k or less as it sits

mileage? i agree with previous posters, it is going to be worth substantially less than "good" value on a stock 2008 with similar miles. OEM+ might be the only style to pull in a little more money than stock, no one will be paying a premium for lime green with damaged over the top body kits. Sorry

Thats gonna be a very tough sell. The chances of finding someone in the market for a lime green wide body Z is gonna be tough. Your really going to be taking a huge loss on the car. When I was in the car biz the first thing that came to mind when a full repaint came in was the car had severe damage some one was trying to hide. Sad to say that expensive paint job actually decreased the value of the car. If the wide body wasn't molded consider selling it and getting the car as close to stock as you can. You can get lucky and find some one interested in the car as it sits but it would most likely be at tremendous lost. Good luck

Accesoris/mods reduce value more commonly than increase it. Damage always decreases it

Park it in front of your local high school with a sign that says "make an offer". That's probably going to be your target crowd.
