Default Selling my 98 C2S- what is she worth?

Have decided that my baby needs a new home as college costs are coming-
Need your guys opinion on value- She is a nicely optioned Artic Silver/Black - 34,000 miles-She is garaged all winter and I have the original books,window sticker and all service records -Factory Aerokit, leather int. yellow Calipers, Litronics, Power Seat Package ,Motor Sound Package,HI FI Sound Alum.Shifter/Brake handle ,White guages- $85000 Sticker!! -
Less than 3,000 miles ago I had the following done to her:
RS clutch
RS Flywheel
PSS10's installed
Brake flush
Mich> Pilots
MY02 Wheels
3M clear bra front and Back
Fister 3 Mufflers
New style key fobs
All work was done by Deman Motorsports Porsche racing in Nyack NY-
The only blemishes on her is a pea size ding on the hood from something closing underneath and a scrape on the passenger side rocker-
I was thinking in the $47-49 range but want expert opinions before I put her up for sale--
Thanks so much for your opinions- Here are some quick pics-

Wow...great car. I agree with your price range. I'd say $47k rather than $49k for two reasons; the fixed spoiler limits the "buyer's pool" and to switch it out to a retractable version is $1,000+; also, the damage to the hood and the scrape to the bumper means "paint work." GLWS.

Wow very nice C2S. I'm no expert but if all maintenance done, I was thinking 45-47 range.

How long have you owned the car? The yellow calipers remind me of a car that was advertised on Ebay not too long ago, also in NJ.

Switch out the wing and get those little blemishes fixed and you have a 98 Silver/Black C2S with only 30k ish miles. I would ask $50k and expect $47-50k.

So you guys would fix the blemishes first- I figured it would raise the paint issue if painted-so I thought I would leave it as is ??

I agree to address the "blemishes" but if the wing is factory, leave it. Let the "next guy" decide. After all it was a $7k option

45 low, 50 high.

40k would see it sold extremely fast.

$40k would be crazy low for this car.

As for the paint, these are tiny things, 3k or less, shouldn't bother anyone to have such minor things fixed.

That is the car that was for sale on ebay just before I bought my C2S...and that is the hood ding I commented on in a thread a few weeks ago that I was told could not be taken out without paintwork. Not sure if this is the same owner that had it, but the guy I talked to was difficult to work with once I mentioned the work it needed (tires, hood, etc). It had 29K on it when I was interested.

Is the sheet metal broken or does it just have a crack in the paint finish. Hard to tell in the photo. Don't think paintless ding repair is going to work on a problem like that.
