If you check some dealer web sites and e-bay sales market seems to be 75-85K depending on mileage/condition/options and lastly if CPO.
Good luck

Market is not that good but will also depend on your MSRP, packages etc. But a fair estimate would be about 50% of your MSRP if its 4 years old.

well i think most turbos from 07 are about the same. 6sp manual, nav, sport seats. 9k miles. has some goodies like damptronics coilovers and bits and pieces here and there, on interior too some c/f but nothing exotic. has gt2 titanium exhaust too but worthless on used car as i understand. overall i don't think specs matter much in aftermkt sale, to be honest.

Yeah, specs will let you move your car faster if they're spectacular, but if you'll recover 25c on $1 on whatever you paid aftermarket, you're lucky man.

On that note, I'd add that there is one missing option that will hurt a sale - lack of the sports chrono package.

I have a dealer offering me 85,000.00 for my '08 with over 40,000.00 of factory options, TechArt steering wheel, TechArt wing and some extra carbon goodies. 8900 miles. Still negotiating. If this helps. This is on a trade.

You would be best to strip off all the mods and sell them for 50cents on the dollar to recoup funds. A car with mods is a tough sale, much easier if returned to stock. Not to mislead anybody, just to sell it easier.
As is your car is probably worth 75k, like others have mentioned, options are meaningless in the used car market, the only possible exception would be the SC. Even that is overrated in the wholesale/auction market, all they care about is miles and condition. The SC is probably only relevant to a private party sale.

Pricing may get more aggressive closer toward Spring but you've got to factor in that the car is theoretically losing roughly $20.83 per day in value regardless of the miles.
I think it is fair but the low side of fair if that makes sense. It also has a GIAC flash, AWE exhaust & Dymags. I will remove the Dymags. This is my 20+ Porsche since 1979 so I realize the lack of value that mods make and they seem to care less about the mods which I totally understand. I will remove most and either transfer to our Turbo S or sell although my wife drives the Turbo S and doesn't want me to touch it. PAAP (Peace at any price)
