I think you're asking waaaay too much. For one it's an automatic and secondly, it's over ten years old. The mileage is good, but I don't think you'll be able to get the amount that you've put into it in mods. The car looks great, but keep in mind that the blue book is about $4k. I bought mine a couple of months ago for $4150. It's a 97 Sport with a new motor. It has 130k miles but the motor only has 20k. Not to mention it's a 5 speed. There's ti's with 3.2l swaps selling for less than you're asking. If I had to guess, I'd say that you might be able to get $6500 for it, but thats being optimistic. Anyway, I didn't mean to crap on your sale, I hope you do get what you're asking, but you might want to consider lowering the price a little. You'll get more offers that way, otherwise you might have to wait a pretty long time before anyone bites. Good luck on the sale.
