My experience selling a premium car (2000 SL500 AMG Sport 38K miles) the best I could do was Whole sale value on the car. So I would go as far as to say you'll be happy to take $57K for your car....sorry, just being real!

I'm in the market for one, and my mode of thinking is that C4S owners are asking too much for their modded rides because you're bumping up against decent 01 turbos. Nothing against you guys, I just think the price compression is working against you.

The problem is mods, esp aftermarket ones, usually detract from the value of a car. You are far better off pure stock, or 'oem mods', I listed mine at 65k, have an offer of 59k on the table. Who knows.
Things that enhance value; porsche added hard options(x51,lsd,etc), tequipment addons(x73, aerokit, etc), low miles, optioned out(nav, etc), single owner, maintenance records.
Detractors; a lot of aftermarket stuff, slight factory options, weird colors, high miles, poor maintanance, multiple owners.
All in all, you might be better off returning the car to rock stock, then sell the mods on line later. That's the only way to recoupe any 'mod-money'.
Good luck.
ps let me know if you still want the aero, may go pure stock and just trade it in(at the price you offered).

when i sold my c4s few months ago, i was told that c4s was depreciating fast as the new ones are out. furthermore, 01 turbo also became so affordable and drove the c4s price even lower. i think it will be to your advantage to part out your car back to stock. you will get more money eventually. i sold my 02 c4s with 19k miles for 55k back back in feburary. i think i under priced a bit, but just a reference for you.

Here you go this is your price point (02 c4s with 19k miles for 55k) your car has ~ twice the mileage (+30K) you might even have to take less then 55K, it will just depend now on how broad you can market your car. Best of luck it was a depressing process for me when I went through it earlier this year.
