I paid a slight premium to the market for mine 4 years ago with 100K (25K on clutch/top end). What's it worth now with 118K? Hard to say.......mid-30's? It's a fully optioned $92K sticker aero kit/sport seats/all-you-could-order car. BUT it's all original, and now not much more than "driver" quality. Cars with extraordinary cosmetics will always be in demand.

that does not seem crazy as an asking price given everything that has been done to the car. Take a similar mileage, year, stock optioned car and you would be around 37-40k. If you had to do all that work on the car you would have at least another 15k in the car. So, if it goes for 45-46k, like I said, it's not crazy IMHO as long as it is all sorted with no issues.

I agree it sounds like a really nice car, but at that # you have to hope there is someone out there looking for exactly those mods . . . nobody expects to be able to re-sell those at "retail"

Best of luck with the sale - and if you get that price make sure it gets reported to Bruce Anderson at Excellence

Thanks for the luv guys.
Still enjoy the car alot, after a couple of notes from passers-by oleft on it asking if I would sell it, my eye begins to wander.
I will either add some oem Sport Seats, or start a new project.

The right price is always what a person will pay for it at the end of the day.
I probably paid more than enough for my newly aquired -97 C2S red/cashmere with 74k on the clock (big reds upgrade) - 43K. Now the thing is that this was the car and only color combo I wanted - and there aren't too many of them - the reassuring thing is that I snapped it in front of three other very interested parties, and the car was very close to TRE . Mine is now undergoing upgrades for approx 10K not including top end (checks out)
So at least for me this one seems priced nicely - hope you'll get even more so I can sleep better at nights

Good luck with the sale
