Default I hate these posts, but I'm going to have to do it. What's my car worth?

I don't even know where to begin...

07 Yellow (non RS)
36k miles
cup car wing
guard LSD
solid mount suspension bits
RSS roll bar
Sparco seats

Overall good condition. Well maintained. Always get fresh fluids on a reg basis. Has some cosmetic wear from being run on a track, nothing major. Typical nicks.

Looking to buy a dedicated track car. No point in keeping both, not that I could afford it anyway.

Car is setup very well and runs close on track with point 2 RS vehicles.

Thoughts?

return to stock, properly prep it and then sell all track parts separately - guess is $70k + parts

thats my guess

I would just turn it to cosmetically stock with the stock wing and make sure to clean it up real good. I don't see clear bra, so you probably have some chips in the paint, might need some touch up in the front.

Dedicated track car as in........

On the axiom that one doesn't buy the car but the owner, I would have to go with 5 bucks.

Stock wing and seats are gone. Sold in the process. I may put the stock exhaust back on though. Don't really want to fiddle with the rest of the bits so I prefer to leave them on the car unless there's a local buyer that is willing to sacrifice their parts and pay for the labor swap.

Car has new plugs, coil packs, and an alternator. Already had the typical coolant line pop, so porsche has fixed it.

Forgot to mention it has the numeric racing short shifter too. Doesn't really do much for performance ut it does make the shifting feel nice

Clean car fax, no paint work.

I was thinking around $75k more or less as is.... So maybe I'm not too far off.

I don't use big words like axiom, but I'm guessing this statement was derogatory. Wouldn't expect anything less coming from a filthy Greek

My 2 cents and take it as you wish.

I would return the car to stock, and clean it really well, like deep cleaning. Wheels off, suspension off, and bottom of, with degreaser, brush and from that on. Fix the little marks, and sell it accordingly.
Miles are not bad, so you could ask high 60s maybe low 70s, for a hassle free sale, and collect some $ from the parts.
Been there done that TOO MANY times... not as many as Mooty, but helped a few people here either selling theirs or buying.
Good luck to whatever you decide to do.

Low 60's high 50's. 36k track miles etc. I'm a dealer though. I just sold a beautiful 07 with 8k no track miles ever for just under 80k
