A dealer will screw you over, find out blue book and sell it for that.

a good rule of thumb when trying to sell a moded car is take the avg of NADA and KBB. then take how much money youve wasted on mods take 33% of that and subtract it from your avg. thats how much your car is realistically worth.

then theres the old adage "theres an ass for every seat" which means put the price you want for the car and wait till the right ass walks by... may take a while tho.

keep in mind with a modded car, you modded it to YOUR likeings, asking a dealer to find someone else to like what you like is a challenge for them and not worth too much money....

that is true. Rather Put a for sale sign. Based on how far I paid on the car and Invested with parts. Its no where near close to give it to carmax nd walk out with nothing. not worth it.
