OR Turbo II value

Hi Brad,
I'm Vince and I recently inherited a turbo II built for racing and wonder if you can help me with valuation, since I plan on advertising it for sale. What would you consider a reasonable price range for the car with this description:?
Most of the track-ready work was done by Trackforged of Troutdale OR (parts and labor). The engine is an S4 with an S5 turbo upgrade and Microtech computer.\\
The engine is newly rebuilt replacement by Pineapple Racing, Troutdale, with less than 100 miles (mileage on car misleading).
Car runs great at greater than 200 HP (currently tuned for road).
The car has many new parts including:
Precision Injectors (set of 4), RP fuel pump, LT8 universal harness, o2 sensor, NGK wire set, open circuit relay (fuel pump),
thermotec heat wrap, Koyo 2-row cooler radiator, thin fan zergo 14", new battery and terminals, high perf. Exedy clutch,
custom Megan Racing full body adjustable coil over suspension, Turbo X8 dual stage boost, Greddy turbo timer,
new intake and exhaust gaskets, new oil metering tube and lines. Set of 4 custom Speed Star D5R wheels with Michelin Radial X 225/40 18" (front wheels not currently mounted). Sparco racing steering wheel. Seats like new. Includes custom 1/2 roll bar (pic available on request). Car has no rust.
Slight dents in driver-side door and rear fender. Moon roof open mechanism not functioning (stuck in closed position). Radio console is gutted. Front head light up/down not working presently (stuck in up). Receipts of purchased parts and professional labor included. Must see. Title in hand. Can send pics if you wish.

CA repondinator

ok how many miles on the vehicle chassis and housing that's whats going to determine price over whats equipped at any point of your future when you inherit someone else problems its always fun, my advice would be get to know your new ride and learn its weaknesses and address them as such.

if your trying to flip it the mileage and paint are the points of focus as well as over all condition

When buying a used car look at what it has for a motor, drive-train (you can allways add parts) (its a tuner for a reason)

at base start without mileage and hours given the parts list and in good condition without actually being there to view it i would give a ballpark of 4500 to 5600 depending ON alot

also this would help lol just a thought if you want more power outa what you got this is what you need
