You may be better off going back to stock first. I'm kind of in the market for a G37 and every time I see a modded one I avoid it.

$11k seems to be about right...maybe less...your mods hurt the general market. Modders will pay more for them, but less pepole want the mods - so you are looking at probably overall hurting the value.

yeah 11-13K is what you will get....if you plan to sell it with the SC to a high school kid, you might get another 2-3K for "a very fast TL"....

personally, I would sell the stuff off the car and get it back to stock (without spending $$$), so if you dont have a stock exhaust, do a trade for your exhaust for stock....dont sell your exhaust for 300 and buy a stock exhaust for 400 (just saying).....

and then sell the car in stock form....

^Agreed. Part out the car and then sell it stock.

^triple agree.

nobody will want that car as it sits. they'll think it was molested or abused.

still got the stock parts laying around? hell, i may even buy that SC off you for the right price.

Stock then sell... First thing hurting you from quick sale is the 6 MT (a limiting factor to your customer base). 2nd, the type of buyer you're going to attract with the SC/mods on is a younger one and likely one without the finance to be able to afford it outright, so you'll likely have to deal with a 3rd/party bank loan sell, which is a pain in the @$$.

open up your customer base by going back to stock. then part out the rest.

You'll make more money returning it to stock and selling off the mods on the black market. Of course that requires having the original parts.
