Whats my G worth?

Looking for some honest answers, seriously thinking of selling my most prized possession. My new job is just too far of a commute and can't really afford a 2nd car.

04' G35 Coupe fully loaded minus navi 6SP

APS Twin turbo / test pipes / custom HKS exhaust. About 440hp to crank.
Greddy gauges, custom CF pillars
Top secret body kit (minus rear) authentic of course with custom clear bra, no rock chips!
Stoptech 4 wheel 14" brakes
19" SF Challenge wheels/tires
Tein basic coilovers
Xtant amp, image dynamics sub 4080 box, alpine $1000 comps, 0 gauge, etc
Rogue short shifter, nismo GT titanium ****
Recently added JWT clutch and flywheel

Thats almost $26,000 worth of aftermarket stuff. The car has almost 36k miles. Motor compression / leakdown is perfect. KBB excellent private seller says it's worth 28k. Needs new tires ($850 from status wheels here in hermosa beach). I have all stock parts in my garage minus wheels.

Honestly what do you guys think? And is anyone interested? I've done all maintenance myself of course and obsessed w/ lube changes, etc.

That car, sir, is beautiful! It would be a difficult sell because you would have to find the right buyer - so it depends how long you were willing to wait for such a buyer. I'd say between $40-45K. Anyone know how G35 Twinz have sold for?

To be honest, the car looks great and all but I'm willing to bet you won't be able to get much more than mid 30s. No way 40s. I saw quite a few supercharged ones go for high 20s - low 30s and those still took a while to sell.

Beautiful car though and I'm sure the right buyer will come along.

I say part it out. Sell the aftermarket parts on the forum or ebay and sell the car bone stock. I think you can make more more money doing that.

I've been shopping for a used G or Z for awhile now and I've come to the conclusion that you can probably recoup 20-30% of the money that you put into the mods, if you mod in good taste. (Plus the base value of the car).

With that in mind, I'd say this: if you mod, you mod for YOU, not for resale value -- most of that money just isn't coming back.

What you guys have said so far was exactly what I was thinking.. Just trying to make sure. Maybe I'll ask $36k and go from there.

I personally would buy it for 35G because it is nicely mod and I don't need to waste time during it. Don't have to waste time taking the car to shop all the time since it is already it is nicely done. Try ebay. I have see price going pretty high for mod car. Just set reserve price.

Put it up on Ebay Motors or try Autotrader.com! At least look at those sites to see what other cars are going for. Ideas!!!!

Coming from someone who has sold a Twin Turbo G.. its hard honestly. I asked low 30's and still couldn't get serious offers. The reason is because in that price range most people are looking to get a loan from their bank, the bank will only loan out the value of the car stock (which was about $28k or less) so I constantly got lowball offers. The other thing is a lack of a warranty.. that made it difficult too.

I ended up selling mine for $28k due to a few sudden problems with the suspension.
