what's my car worth?

Guess I should start selling my car in anticipation of the TT cab and haven't a clue what it is worth. Any experiences of late would be much appreciated.

2001 996 C2 cab
black/grey
6 spd
12k miles
Confort Package
Advanced Technic Package
Heated Seats
PSM
Supple leather
18" carerra 5 spokes
Aluminum Instrument Dials
MSRP $86000 (+ $1500 dealer installed at delivery Aluminum dials)
Always garaged, broken in according strictly to the manual, always allowed car to get to normal operating temp before exceeding 4200 RPMs (as per manual), non-smoker. Car has zero paintwork, but I am considering repainting the front bumber and maybe the hood for rock chips.

Upgrades:

Porsche Twin turbo/GT3 brakes ($3k installed by factory Porsche Master tech)

Optional Porsche 3rd radiator (installed by factory Porsche tech)

GT3 seats (about $3k). Still have stock supple leather, full power, heated ones with 7k miles on them.

H&R coilovers w/GT3 adjustable sways (about $3500 installed - by factory Porsche Master tech). Still have stock suspension which has 7k miles on it.

Traffic Pro Nav (says Porsche on it). $1500 installed

Porsche HPAS installed by factory Porsche tech (the $2 to $3k stereo system only available through Porsche parts) - plus the optional several hundred $ each rear speakers, all installed by Porsche factory tech.

Am I better off returning it to stock (except for the brakes), selling off the GT3 etc stuff, or looking for a home as it is?

I think you hit the nail on the head with your last statement.. with all that stuff you could easily get

$1500 for Seats
$1k for coilovers and sway
$800 NAV
$500 for Stereo

I would say if you leave that stuff in there you could get high $50's if you pull that stuff out... you could get high $50's
and pocket the stuff you sell... just my $.02

I agree with Kevin

I suspect low to mid 60's with mods to someone who appreciate all the work you done, o/w strip it and high 50's to low 60's into private hands.

Ben I am thinking the same thing. I would take as much out as possible. Then sell it. You should get in the high 50's!!!

Orient.

I think I'm going to go ahead and take out the GT3 seats and maybe even the GPS this weekend.

The sad thing is everytime I look at this car now (especially from the rear), it just looks so beautiful in black. And after driving it today, I still love it. I'm just sick of black. 9 years now and almost nothing but black. Now, it will be almost nothing EXCEPT black :-)
