What is the car worth?
I have a 2005 6-speed Arctic White C6 with 28000 miles and HUD on it. I just put an A&A SI-trim blower on it in novemember. I have put on new Michelin super sport tires this last September so they have about less than a thousand miles on the tires. I have a dual gauge pod with sport comp II boost and fuel pressure gauges, the interior of the car is cashmere and extremely well kept. I'm about to graduate college and may need to sell it I feel like the car is worth 30k, what is your assessment ?

^ That sounds reasonably close.

The car without the mods might be worth $22K, with the mods, maybe $24K. Also, your timing on the sale makes the car look suspect. People generally don't sink $6,000 into a vehicle they want to sell 3 months later...makes it appear as if you are not happy with the new setup, or there are issues. While that is probably not the case, it is what a smart/savvy buyer would suspect.
if you remove the mods and restore back to original shape, maybe sell for $23K, then sell the mods for 50% to 60% of what you paid.

i paid 27500 last april with 18k miles on it. it was the only arctic white c6 with a six speed in the 5 neighboring states. but it was through a dealer. I guess i could sell it for 20-22K and then put the si trim on here for 4K if i wanted. My plan is to keep the car, but it sounds like if i eventually sell, ill want to take the mods off and sell those seperately!

The mods will drive lots of buyers away. Stock sells best.

$20-25k. $20k to someone who doesn't want the supercharger and sees it as a liability that will need to be removed. $25k to the guy who wants exactly what you have and just did a line of coke before coming to see it.
Realistically, 22-23k is probably where you'll end up, but it will not be easy to sell. You will likely deal with a bunch of people offering you 15-18k, give up, and take it to a dealership who will give you $19-20k.

Yeah, i'd take out your blower and sell that separate, turn the car back to stock performance wise and sell it that way. People generally fear performance modded cars when buying them from someone they don't know. Turn it back to stock, don't even tell them it used to have those mods. 23-26k tops for the low mileage. And then sell your blower separate.
