What's a good price for my 7?

I'm interested in selling my '86 N/A, but before I decide whether or not I'm going to do it, I was wondering if any of you could quote me some sort of price. Here's the info on the car:

1986 A1 Gold Base model
181,XXX on chassis, 45k on Mazda Reman. engine
Tokiko Shocks
ST Springs
Eibach swaybars
Cusco 40mm rear strut bar
Mazdatrix front strut bar
Engine torque brace
Mazdacomp DTSS eliminator bushings
HKS sport exhaust
APEX'i S-AFC II, fully installed and set-up
APEX'i super ground module
Exedy Stage I clutch
RB light steel flywheel
Enkei RS Evolution wheels w/ Z-rated Toyo Proxes T1-S (205/55/16 front, 225/50/16 rear)
Corbeau A4 seats
Aluminum hood
Kenwood MP3/CD player

New things: 500 miles ago, the car got new belts, silicon vaccum hoses, new radiator hoses, spark plugs and plug wires, all new freeze plugs, and a new oilpan gasket. Also, 500 miles ago, the car recieved five quarts of Redline 20W50 synthetic oil, and I still have one more quart. This past January it got a fresh factory color clear coat paintjob. The car has seen two autocrosses since I gained ownership and has actually done quite well, landing me in the top 3 both times for the C-Street Prepared class.

Currently the only problem with the car is that third gear has started to grind, but not in daily driving, only under hard conditions (very quick shifts up to 3rd, quick downshifts to 3rd). So I imagine that depending on your driving style it would last between two to six months before needing a new 3rd gear synchro. I know a guy here in Sacramento that will completely rebuild the transmission for $600 with Mazda parts.

As far as I know, that's the only real problem with the car. Power builds smoothly and pulls well to redline.

Wow, that's nice. I suppose asking 900 for JIC FLT-A2's with 5k miles on them wouldn't be too much, would it?

If you went down to like $3200 or maybe even 3k, i wouldn't think that you would have a problem at all selling it. It all depends on how patient you are in selling the car.
