How much is reasonable for my RX-7?

I have an auto 1994 RX-7 that I am planning to have converted to a manual? However, I'm wondering if I should try selling it. I could put the money from the sale and the money I would be spending on the conversion towards a newer (maybe something in the 2000s) manual sports car.

Here are the stats on my car:
White 1994 automatic RX-7 (touring)
60,600 miles (I've had it since 33,315 miles)
245/45-16 Bridestone Potenza S03 (about 75 miles)
Replaced fuel filter at 58,366 miles*
Replaced vacuum lines w/ silicone hoses*
Tri-Point Engeneering AST*
180 degree thermo upgrade*
fan switch mod*
Racing Beat cat back exhaust (dual tip)*
M2 Downpipe*
KVR cross-drilled rotors (Silver Cadmium plated)*
Cusco Front Strut Tower Brace
Eibach Pro Kit springs*
Tokico Illumina 5 way adjustable shocks*
Racing Beat Front Sway Bar Brace*
Defi 52mm Boost Gauge*
Defi 52mm Water Temp Gauge*
Defi Control Link*
Greddy PRofec B - Spec II boost controller*
Kenwood Excelon KDC-X559 head unit
Metra black mast power antenna (installed 3/2003)
R1 spoiler
R1 front lip spoiler

The turbos were done by the dealer (Don Rosen Mazda)when I bought the car.

The engine was replaced by NorthPenn Imports (Mazda and VW dealer) at 52,618. (The AC was also recharged then.)

*work done / installed at KD Rotary

The car is in great shape for a 10 year old car (no body damage). The interior is in good shap except the lid on the driver side door is broken.

What do you guys think. Do I need to provide any more information?

Did you miss the fact that its an auto. If your car was a 5 speed, I would say 15 to 16 (Maybe). With an Auto I would bet you would have to be somewhere around 12k to get a buyer.

12k if its in great condition. Probably more like 10 though. You have lots of miles, an auto, old paint, stock wheels, and very few upgrades. I do like the color combination though.

better off converting yours. at least you know what you got instead of buying someone else's potential surprise. quite a few people have done it here. just search.

That person got one hell of a good deal though. Unfortunately, every dumb *** lowballer is going to say 'I can buy an FD for 7k why pay xx for yours now'. That deal was an exception, not the norm. I hope people realize that.

Unfortunately, there are too many low ballers. If its in great condition, I say at least $13k.

Its completely stock performance-wise except for the downpipe. Its automatic. White and 94 are definitely a plus. I would say $12k at most
