fair market trade-in/retail value - 2004 GT3

I am what Mooty calls the "Newbie buyer" and I probably paid too much for my Lapis beast but the 4.0 r&p, Motons, LWFW and other suspension goodies is what got me excited. Sure i could have paid $50 something but it would have cost me WAY more than I paid to get her where she is. I'm happy. Seems that this car is worth at least $55 or maybe I am trying to justify paying more

The car is worth whatever a willing buyer will spend. It sounds like a great example, and a year of CPO coverage brings substantial peace of mind. Having purchased mine 16 months ago (after two years of looking) I keep a pretty close watch on want ads and dealer inventories of these increasingly rare cars. I believe a fair retail price is $56K.

You got a heck of a car, and with the right stuff for someone planning to track this car. There is real value in those mods, just not for the wrong buyer.
And that colour

but you are no newbie, afterall you have a clubsport!!!
the car u bought has lots of tasty stuff on it. it' s not a normal 6.
in fact, if it was white, i would have stole it form you, i knew it's for sale before it was posted and would have out bid u on it.
unfortunate, i HATE blue, unless it's smurf blue

. Yep, she is a fast one for sure. That said, I need a tranny drop, clutch is doing some funky **** to me. When not running I can select any gear I want. Turn her on and I cannot select any gear (unless i rev match) or change up/down. Hope to figure it our before the next event.

I think clutch since I can shift through all of the gears when the motor is not running. Once the motor is running, I cannot select a gear or change between them. There was no slippage so it is not a plate issue......maybe pressure plate or throw out. Time will tell.
