Don't take this as an insult, but I think you would have a lot more potential buyers and probably be able to get more for it if you removed some of those mods. The body kit being the worst offender .

Just my 2 cents.

Well, you should sell it for about twelve million, and then retire to a tropical island. Unless you like cold, and then maybe Ireland.
Of course, finding a customer at that price is the trouble.
In selling, you find out what something's "worth" after a customer has paid the amount you'll let it go for. It's worse in cars, because your customer undoubtedly just bought his car from someone else. And regardless how "sweet" the deal was, both the seller and the buyer know they could have done a thousand better.
And a crucial fact about car mods: any money spent on cars is toilet money. As soon as it's spent, it's flushed. Gone. You're lucky to get 10% back on car modifications, and if you're trading it in, you'll be lucky to get away with a 10% penalty from a dealer. People don't want what someone else thinks looks good on the car. They only want what they want.
And as for what's available for 19K, well, what do you want? If you're thinking 19, you'll go to 22, at least.

its is all said by defiant.... unless u find sum1 who really "loves" ALL of ur mods u cant expect to sell it for a lot more than the market value... ofcourse u could, if ur willing to wait couple months... otherwise all ur mods arent worth more than 1k in cash at the dealers... gd luck

your post should be completely deleted due to ignorance and misinformation. Due a little research next time and find the value yourself. Its not really that hard man.
