What's this car worth? Renntech Stage 3 SL65

Assume original owner as that's how it seems from listing.

What would be a "good" deal?

That's nice....

assuming you like the color. I do, many do not. Not the best color for resale.
Regarding the price, it's mostly about the warranty situation. If it's a late delivery 06, it could have some factory warranty left, and that makes a ton of difference in your ability to obtain an extended warranty. I don't think you want to own one of these cars without one.
I looked at that car many weeks ago on Dupont, like everything else in this world, depends on whether the seller is motivated....

Not worth as much as you think, people always think a modified car has had it's **** ragged out. When I look for used cars I like them absolutely stock.

It basically been flashed. Maybe 55k and although I like the color, not the best for resale as someone said above.

That's probably about right, (if it has ...

any kind of warranty, maybe more), but who knows if you can buy it for that. I've been looking for another 55/65 for about a month, and can't find one that hits all the markers....

I like the color. I'm one of few who would jump at the dark red paint.

Mods really don't add much to the resale value of the car and that's coming from someone who has modded the heck out of both my AMG's...

I'd offer 70K and go from there. He/She will probably think of it as a low ball offer but let it sit there for a couple of weeks or months (as long as you are patient) and offer it again...

You could probably get an 06 for that much with lower miles...I did.

It probably has no more warranty so you have to factor that into your buyers price, since that would be my first purchase after the car.
