As realized, it would need to be the right buyer... but I agree with patience it should be feasible (I would prefer it goes to someone that appreciates what it is - Aaron and Wes' deal worked out good)
----------------------------------------------------
as for parting out - that probably isnt a viable option... a large portion of the cars worth can't be parted out... so selling it after part out just wouldnt make sense (to me or buyer).
Thanks for the feedback guys (except yours Chris )

a stock car caters to 90% of the population and a modded car caters to us guys on the forum. The only way for you to make more the face value of the car is to sell it to one of us here.
Mods dont add value to the car, in many cases they decrease the value. Your car is worth w/e kbb puts it at if its $15k then that is all. The 90% will only pay $15k.
You got the right mindset knowing you wont make back your cost in mods and counting @ 30-40% but even that is high. This is why demodding as much as you can and leaving on the stuff you cant take off is far more worth it.
A mod as simple as window tint, can turn off 50% of potential sales from older people. Yea younger people would LOVE it but most dont have the $$$ to pay. This a HUGE reason why cars are a waste of money and are just hobbies. The only way to turn a buck in modding would be doing old muscle cars. I see on my350z all the time boosted cars sell for what stock cars can go for. I can buy a car that someone spent $20k + car for $18-20k.
