How much is my car worth if I sell: 94 apex'i single turbo FD with FEED bodykit

I'm really on the fence here. I've owned this car since 1999 and have put a lot of time, money, and energy in building it. It has tremendous sentimental value to me and I certainly am not in desperate need of money or know if I even should sell it. On the other hand, the car has pretty much been a garage queen the last 5 years as I have been too busy with work and my personal life to be able to enjoy it. I've been around the rx7forum and the rotary community for over 10+ years and those of you who know me will know that I spared no expense to build and take care of my car.

I spent over $30,000 in modifications over the last 14+ years. I am not naive enough to think I will get my money back but If I do decide to sell (and that's a big IF), how much do you all think I could get for it? The car has the following mods:

Engine:
-Street ported motor rebuilt approximately 15,000 miles ago with new rotors, housings, and seals
-Apex'i RX6 Single Turbo
-Apex'i Power FC and Commander
-Blitz FMIC
-Blitz SBC -id boost controller
-Greddy Evo Exhaust
-B&M newvolt ignition amplifier
-Custom Mocal Dual Oil Cooler kit
-Mazda Competition Aluminum radiator
-BNR33 Fuel Pump
-RC Engineering 1300 cc secondary fuel injectors
-Dyno tuned by XS Engineering the car made about 380rwhp at 1kg of boost on 91 octane gas

Exterior:
-Genuine Feed Type 2 front bumper (this is NOT a rotaryextreme knockoff)
-Genuine Feed FRP Aero Hood (this is NOT a shine auto project knockoff)
-Genuine Feed Type 2 GT Wing (this is the real deal, no one ever tried knocking this off)
-Genuine Feed Aero Mirrors
-Genuine Feed Carbon Fiber Door handles

Interior:
-Recaro SPG driver seat with Feed slider/rails
-Mazdaspeed D-Cut Steering Wheel with quick release
-M2 racing rollbar

Suspension/Wheels:
-18 x 9.5 Volk CE28N in gunmetal
-Bridgestone RE01-R tires (265/35/18 on all four corners)
-AP Racing Big brake kit
-Mazdaspeed strut tower bar

Misc:
- Brand new 5-speed transmission installed about 5,000 miles ago
- Brand new engine wiring harness
- Brand new fuel pulsation dampers

That pretty much sums everything up. Let me know what you guys think.

If you don't need the money, don't sell it. You will regret it if you do.

Edit* Just saw the rear wing. Definitely sell the wing

Yeah, I feel like I would regret selling but its hard to justify a car that just sits in my garage. Plus the smog ***** in California are not getting any easier to deal with every 2 years.

I usually don't like GT Wings but I actually like the FEED one. I am however consider replacing it if I keep the car. I already bought a FEED adjustable wing with the carbon fiber center...

I'd say keep it but if you decide to sell it go for 20K. Just don't advertise it here, A.K.A low ball central

I will say/warn, there are typically two different prices... the price you want to sell it at, the price someone will pay for it... You can't really predict the latter.

It's ultimately going to come down to how quickly you want to sell it. The longer you are willing to keep it on the market, the higher chance you have to get a better price. However, at some point, you are going to have to come to the realization that it's hard to sell these cars at a decent price. Most banks don't offer loans on cars this old. There are specific ones that due, but they generally require pretty good credit which younger buyers don't qualify. This can and will limit your target audience.

All good points. If I did sell, I would probably take my sweet time to get a "fair" price (obviously I won't get anywhere near what I put into it).

Unfortunately, I do not have the stock parts. I had the car for a long time and never ever imagined that I would even consider selling it. It was only until recently that it hit me that maybe the car no longer fits my lifestyle anymore since I no longer have the time and energy to spend on it...

If SMOG check is annoying you, see if there is a near county that doesn't require SMOG check. I know Imperial County is WAY to far for you but here we are only require to do smog check when transferring ownership. Then just register the car to a PO Box in that area. Know of a few people that do that here.
