(Please) help me figure out how much to sell my FD

Wuts up guys
I have no idea how much to ask for my car and would like any help from you guys
The car has a salvage title and that is the reason I'm not sure how much to ask for it
So give me some figures and let me know what you guys think

The car:

Color is MB
52,000 original miles
Stock rims & 18's
tinted windows
tan leather
greddy intercooler(not a front mount)
HKS intake
MP
DP
Exhaust
XS bov's
Pettit AST
Vacuum hose upgrade
boost gauge
cross drilled rotars
5th gear(grinds a little)
Everything works on the car(does not overheat or anything like that)

I'v had the car for 4 years and only put 20,000 miles, dont drive enough to keep
So give me some figures and let me know what you guys think
Thanks a lot guys
(wont be able to get back till noon next day to check responses)

this car has 2 negatives, salvage title, and it is on its original engine. you would probably be better off parting the car, and sell it as a stock car or rolling chassis.

Id probably say it is worth about 9-10k at most with the salvage title. OF course that is just my opinion.

Other nasty problem is that you are running a MP with no ECU... killer on a motor that sees boost.

Since you have had the car for a while, it appears that you are not in a hurry to sell it. Thats good. The salvaged title really hurts. If the car is in very good condition, I would say start at 12k. That is probably too high, but you are not in a hurry to sell, so it is OK to start high. Maybe you will find the right buyer.

Why the salvage title? Where was it hit? ^ I think 7 or 8 is way too low for 50k original miles. If it had rear damage its worth more than if it was hit in the front. Do like Adam c said and start at $12k then see where it gets you.

i think 12000$ would be a good price to start from, depending on why you have a salvage title(history of the car)...
my .02 cents

ditto, salvage is salvage unfortunatly. i dont think any insurnace company will give you anything for it if it was crashed and that=damn near worthless to anyone which is in the market unless they want a race car and arn't planning on insurning it or really loves the car.
