What's it Worth??? Yellow 01 M112?
We have a yellow 2001 Fully loaded 6 speed coupe. 144K miles, next step exhaust, K&N filter, BRAND NEW Tick Performance Master, Monster Clutch, Flywheel, Pilot/Throw-out bearing, and rear main. It has an incredible blue-tooth synced stereo with an MTX 10 that is cleanly installed with a 500 watt hidden amp. The car turns heads everywhere we go. However, the drivers seat is worn, and the tires are down to about 30% tread life. The front bumper has a small scratch from a curb; the rest of the car is in perfect shape.
What would she move for now? Spring time?

not nearly as much as you wish
edmunds is easy to use and more often than not, accurate.
unfortunately the mileage is your death.
regardless of how much you love this car it will likely not sell for more than $14k. there are just too many low mileage cars available.
the killer stereo may help but the monster clutch package tells me (and others) that this car has seen a hard life.
waiting till spring may get you $500-1000, it may not.
good luck

I wasn't trying to give you a smart azz answer. Look at the big auto website for C5s under $12,000 and you will see what I mean. Now, theres no way to tell what shape there really in but yours is going to need tires and a couple other things so judge for yourself. It does't hurt to dream.

I think if you can get $12K out of it you'd be doing well. The mileage and the need for new tires (anywhere from $650-1500 depending on brand)/seat repair are things that will have a negative impact on what price you can get.

Look around on the big price estimators to get a rough idea of an asking price as well as look at "Previously Sold" on Ebay which will let you know how much cars actually sold for. Then figure take $2k off for tires and seat repair. You will probably lose some more as someone above mentioned because a seller will assume it's been driven hard if you went with a Monster clutch.
Best bet is to sell all of the aftermarket stuff that you can because it's not going to fetch you anything in the sale price of the car. Good luck with your sale

Winter is the wrong time to sell a sportscar.
