Bought my 951 for $6.5k USD
I imagine the value will vary depending on the market you present it to. Collectors, obviously not wanting a tampered car, may not like the supercharger or vents. However, I like them and I recognize the value of something with work and performance minded parts put on it. I almost shelled out 5k on an AW11 (supercharged) that EASILY exceeded that value by a factor of two, in parts alone.
If you want to put it up on eBay and Autotrader, you may be able to pull quite a bit for it. I'd say, take the value of the car in good or excellent condition, add up the cost of parts you put on the car, then subtract a certain percentage. You'll never gain back all the cost in parts.

Agreed. I like vents, but I like them more when they're funtional, and less when they're not. Still looks interesting, and they were done clean.

No, not much body fill at all. Was lucky to find one with less rust>>> Just a tad for the insertion of the vents and the dent here and there.
Supercharger, orginal cost of car, body kit,( bumper, grill, spoiler, rockers), paint, serviced the belts, water pump, new sunroof kit, tires, rims, konis, stero, etc, etc,it's an easy 25k.
Viper sticker was "Viper Alarm" off now since I had the windows re-tinted.
The only thing added since then, the front grill has been painted black to match the car's paint scheme.
Thanks for the serious suggestions. I may try a couple like throwing it on Ebay. Am really at a lost to keep or sell and this kind of seals it. I knew I would never get my money back but at this much of a lost, I should keep going or drive it until the doors fall off. ha.. either way, Love my Porsche !

Ignore the "average" pricing mentality. Yours is a long way from being an average car. Actually, almost any well-maintained 944 is, these days, there are so many under-maintained 944 and 951 junkers out there swamping the market...
Your car will only appeal to a fairly narrow band of buyers, however. That means that you will have to be patient to get a fair price. Or, as someone already suggested, convert to something closer to a stock 944 and sell the upgrades separately. Might be your best bet if you're in a hurry...

You have to look past the money - and don't think you're alone! I've put over $5k a year into my car (for the last 9 years) plus a premium purchase price for a 1-owner, all records, low mileage car. Does that make my car worth $60k now? Nope. I doubt I could get $12k. The solution: drive it, enjoy it, keep putting money into it!

This is, hands down, the best solution.
