Default Thinking of Selling My 2002 1.8TQM - How Much $ to Ask?

I think it might be time to sell my 2002 A4 1.8TQ Manual. I'm trying to get a handle on what I should ask, and who better to ask than you guys.

Here are the specs:

2002 A4 1.8TQ Manual; 46K miles, Grey/platinum leatherette, Cold weather package, Premium, Xenon

It's got some extras now:
ECS Stage 3 frontBrakes (Porsche 993 TT brakes); cross drilled and cross drilled in back; RS4 Sways, front & rear; Vogtland Coilovers (in the last 3K miles); RNS-E Navigation; 710N Valve; OEM Audi S4 BBS CH type wheels and Michelin Pilot Sports (also matching spare). 8mm wheel spacers (to clear brakes and give it a better stance. Aero wiper blades.

Exterior is stock except for black out grill (with chrome audi rings)painted lowers, and debadged in back. I would score it 8/10. Interior is stock except for RNS-E and RS4 pedals. Another 8/10

New radiator and timing belt done very recently.

What price should I ask for? Ideally this should sell to an enthusiast who appreciates the mods. I don't want to part out (even though I know I could realize some extra $ - just too much hassle).

Thoughts?

Default In this market especially, it's much better to part out and sell stock

the market for enthusiast buyers looking for a pre-modded car and willing to pay a premium over KBB for the upgrades is very tiny.

that said, I'd be interested in the BBK if you do decide to part out

Default It truly will be much better to part it out, mainly because you have a low mileage car

That someone who isn't an Audi enthusiast might want. The mods would detract from that. Maybe try to sell it modded first, if you have no luck, part it out and sell it outside of one of the forums.

And I'd also be interested in the BBK

Default Too bad mods go usually for 50% of list price.

Costs of labor involved in swap back to OEM might negate any benefits of selling mods aftermarket. Spacers are one thing, sway bars something different. I'd like to pick some parts from that buffet too. RS4 pedals & perhaps spacers...

Default Depends if he's DIY'ing or paying a shop to do it

The RNS-E takes a half hour to pop out and sells for ~$800 for example. I can see something like the coils though if a shop had to do it
