Yet another genius that is asking his initial purchase price + mods + 10,000 TRACK MILES for resale.
Deduct for the mods, deduct for the obvious track time, deduct for the overboost program, deduct for the miles.
Act like a dealer and you'd find that given cost of flooring the car, cost of money, necessary cleanup, etc... you'd probably offer the guy $41K in order to keep a margin of safety. Who in the !%@!^~$# would pay top dollar for a "grandmotherly driven" street car with a full cage in it? They guy totally killed the potential acquisition audience with that in the car.
Someone may pay low $50's but it's a hard sell there, in my opinion. De-sticker the car, remove the cage, put stock rims or some low-key Fikse's on it, and he'd IMMEDIATELY get high-$50's, perhaps low $60's. Tag-line should read "meticulously detailed carbon fiber trimmed street rocket, religious maintenance, daily driver potential, GT-2 upgrades, my loss is your gain."

BOT AND SOLD 50+ CARS FOR MYSELF AND WRENCHED ON 90% OF THEM.
Have done a few motors, had a couple built. Considering having my current car done with a 3.8TT configuration ~ After doing 1-3 steel synchros to fix some idiot's idea of good "second gear" engagement.
All you have to do is build ONE race car and you know the deal. Clearly hasn't made me immune from mistakes.
Here's a "probably" great deal for someone who "CHECKS THE ECU" and if the Stage #1 and #2 numbers are alright, leakdown, there could be great value in the following....

Item number: 140172929873
Nice CF package (make sure it's on the original invoice, no Chinese plastic stick-ons please) and full supple leather are noted niceities. Would need PSS9's + Flash + Exhaust but that's only another $7K if the car checks out.
