Year, model, mileage?

You have some nice mods but the return on mods is not as good as you would think. Your much better off putting your car back to stock as much as possible and selling your mods individually. May take a little longer but you will get far more money.

milage is 70k

calvin i finally bought my toyota tundra pickup over the weekend which will serve as my daily driver .. its the one with the access doors for rear pass and i am loving this thing so i dont need 2 4 door cars , i also have a 2002 chrysler town and country for the family road trips

so i want a real sports car in the garage and i intend to do a coupe from soup to nuts beyond what i have done with the gs

it's too hard to really judge the mods on your car. your car itself i think is worth around 17 to 18k. with mods, i think 25k is a "fair" price, but i am not sure if you can get that

yeah, it's always worth a try though, who knows who's in your area that appreciate your car, right? but at least i know if i do that here in cali, i am going to get hit bad ("hey, i saw your blue gs4 with all the mods. very nice. how about 17k and i will come pick it up?")

but on another note. go with your heart man. once you want to get something else, it's hard for you to look back

wow Ed, never thought Id see the day when you'd be feeling out the sale of your baby. The hardest part, aside from finding someone that will buy her as is for fair value, is also finding someone that will appreciate all the sweat and tears and back braking labor you put into her. I dont think anyone did more extensive DIY work on their car than you. Best of luck bro as you prepare for her sale
