Considering you've drag raced it and just recently posted that you ran 11s in the drag forum, I wouldn't expect getting your money's worth.

Well, most people are answering about resale value, as I'm sure this is a concern to you as well. The biggest question is: why are you selling it? Have you had problems mechanically with the car, after spending 12k in mods do you have buyers remorse, are you looking for a faster platform, do you want more luxury, is the wing unbearable, . . . ?...This thread is created to get an estimate of how much you can get for the car, but you never say why you're selling it, maybe keeping it is the best option...

In most buyer's mind, it's foolish to buy a modded car...Instantly, you lose the warranty, over something you had no input on and you don't know how the car was used...Furthermore, after two months, most buyers will look at this sale as "well, he must be having problems with it"...This being said, take other's advice and part out the mods on your own...If you do not have the parts to return your car to stock, you can "trade plus cash" on the seller's forum...Return the car to stock, and sell it locally it will be more beneficial for you...You will lose some resale value, but you should make up most of the defecit in the sale of your mods.

If you want a reccomendation on which car to purchase, I would have to know how you use your car...::assuming same price range::
If you want a quick, luxurious, reliable daily driver, perhaps the new Lexus IS350or an e46 M3...
If you want more raw speed (drag racing) muscle cars are the easiest way, so maybe like an 03 Cobra, c6 Corvette, GT500, or wait out for the new Camaro...
If you want something more track oriented, buy a Miata and keep the car you have now...You can beat the crap out of it on racedays and not have to worry about busting up your daily driver...
If you want a coupe/convertable, Honda S2000, 350z Roadster (not my thing, but maybe you'd be into it)
If you truly love this car, but can't make payments, consider purchasing an older evolution or even subaru.
