Whats it worth

I have a 2005 a4 car with an ecs system that I am thinking about selling. Since it has some custom stuff I really have no idea how to price it. Whats the market like? The car has 90k miles, the blower has like 2000 miles on it. It also has a GM reman trans in it that still has more than 2 years and 98k miles worth of warranty left. The car is a 10 ouside of a rock chip or scratch here and there. What you guys think?

Tough call... it's the least desirable c6, with high miles... and a blower. I think you will be disappointed with its sale price.

I would ask 19.9, and be prepared to take like 15 to 17k. Maybe less if your few scratches and such are the car more like a 6 than a 10.

Meh that's not too terribly disappointing, I was thinking of starting at 19,999 and seeing what happens.

2022 C6 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified

I have a'05 bone stock z51, m6, all options both tops 54000 miles clean car very good condition. I was offered 16k sight unseen trade in yesterday. I think I could get 19k selling it myself. Personally I wouldn't be interested in a modded car but I hope my reply helps you out.

Conventional wisdom is you never get your money back for modifications.... Consider all modifications to add zero value to the car and you have it's value.

YMMV

I dont think that's a bad plan. Might find someone who likes the mods. If not, you at least know you are looking at a lot less money.

That blower adds almost nothing to the price, typically mods don't

Depending on the kit, blowers seem to have a decent resale market. You might consider taking it off and selling separately. If you serious about selling I'd price it at $17k with or without the blower and take the first $15K that came around.
