Sanity price check on my car

[yura]

Some of the local Vancouverites might have seen my ad w/ my 2005 ZHP coupe: http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/bnc/cto/3549010962.html

The car gets some interest here and there, but not quite as much as I'd like, and I've found a few other cars listed for sale that sound like they'll meet my needs, so I'm tempted to consider a lower price.

I realize that "rarer" and modified cars are usually harder to sell, but anyways... that said,

if this was your car and you were listing it for sale a) what would you ask and b) what's the lowest you'd take? Just want a sanity check.

Please keep in mind that prices north of the border are generally a bit higher. For reference, there are several earlier year 330's and 325's for sale around the $11-13k range, and most have higher mileage (and some rebuilt/salvage titles).

Fixed, sorry about that! Copy/pasted post from another local forum and didn't fix the link...

Pretty much all modifications were done by the previous owner, so no stock parts on my end. I do have the rear shock absorbers (which had to be removed as the hitch mounts in their place) and the original cup holders (replaced with euro tray), but that's about it.

So, 153K kms is about 92k miles. I think your asking price is right on but expect an enthusiast to ask about cooling system refresh, FCABs, battery, etc., things that should be replaced as PM in a 7-8 year solid car. As far as bottom line, because of the rear accident, I think 12-12.5K is botom line vrealistic. If your cooling system refresh has already been done, then raise that to $13-13.5K. Don't mean to rain on your parade, just what I've been seeing lately.

Thanks for the feedback. Yup, cooling system refresh has been done by the previous owner at around 100km (60,000 miles).

As well as these cars drive when properly maintained, mileage still takes a huge toll on market price. A perfectly maintained 150k mile car will still sell for less than a 100k mile car that has had said preventative maintenance neglected; as far as I know.
