Its really tough selling modded cars, but never fear, there is always a buyers market for cars like these. It totally depends on the KBB. I would say youve spent well over $40k on the car, which i honestly dont think your gonna get anywhere more than 50% of the depreciated cost. If you wanna get rid of it fast, i would say add an additional $10-$15k on top of the KBB private party price and see how it goes from there.
To give you an idea buddy, If I were to sell my car soon...
my KBB retail price for excellent condition is $38-$39k. I would list my car for about $50,000 to $48,000, and this is with over $50,000 in mods...and counting...

Unfortunately it will be hard to find a buyer that will give you $10,000 above KBB. When people are looking for a used car, they want a deal, not a car that will cost them almost as much if not more that the car new.
When I sold my truck that had $25,000 extra in upgrades I only got $6,500 above KBB, and that’s only because I found a guy that would rather purchase the truck modified than do it himself.
But most of the time people that would spend the money to upgrade their car or truck will want to do it him or herself. About a month after I sold my truck I saw it for sale again buy the guy that purchased it from me. It took him 7 months to sell it and he took a huge loss (only $1,500 above KBB). I guess he could not find another sucker like himself.
Just my experience, hope yours is better.
In any case, your car is beautiful and it will be sad to see it go. Good Luck !

Thats the problem with modding, we put alot of money into our cars but they are so hard to sell and people are not gonna spend alot of money just bc you modded it up. Neverthless the dealer aint gonna care either during trade in. Thats why I think im gonna stop modding now.

its a headache to part out sometimes unless you have kept the stock parts or the the buyer will trade you plus some money..... and then it takes up time to take things off and all but you'd get more money then selling it with the mods
