$8,000 would have been my best guess for an enthusiast.
Sounds like your car is in good shape, but that is also a different color.
You need to make sure you find someone that likes the rarity of the sage mist green (I do) and then, you will not have trouble up-selling the other mods that you have done to the car.
Otherwise, just take the mods off, and get as much as you can for the car and sell the mods separately. You might get more money doing that, but it will require more effort. You could probably still get like $6.5 or so bone stock, and then whatever you make off of your mods.

Good luck.

you can sell me your a.e. headlights and swap them for mine plus cash...

I agree with everyone, unless you find some kid right out of High School that wants a car that looks good and has very little to do to it.
Before my last Max was stolen, some kid wanted to give me 11k for it. If you cant do that sell the car stock and then sell the parts, youll make more money doing that.

we'll see, its not a deffinite thing yet so i have sometime to make my decision. or i may even just keep it if i dont get what i want for it. besides, i've spent a lot on it already.

Just keep it man why start all over? just boost it again so you can have that power to play with the audi's

i bet starting all over is part of the reason, cuz thats fun in and of itself. as for what the car is worth i'd think about 7.5k. personally no matter how much i like the car its still a '97 and has had quite a bit of work done to it for replacement/wear parts, that kinda makes me weary... but otherwise i wouldnt see a problem with it going for 7.5k

Maximus_95

haha, i play with the audi's all day long, meaning their A4's v6 or 4cyl turbo. my friend has one, and i smoke it all the time haha. but either way, i was thinking about boosting again, but car is getting old and i dont feel like fixing it all the time when something goes wrong. i just want a quick, stock fast car.

He got 4800 for it, not 5800. 5800 is however what I paid for my 97 SE (123k) for last week. Hence, that was in Iowa, I had to drive for it. Around here id be hard pressed to find one for that price. You should be able to get at least 7 for the car as long as you can hold out and wait for the right person to come around. If you have any stock parts lying around the house, put them back in! Youll make more money selling them separatley than you will by keeping them on the car. I would put the asking price at $7500 and see what you can get. Good luck.

haha thanx. i probably would part it out, but its not a for sure thing yet.
just wondering for now, but next year for sure i will sell it i think. and btw, haha, my bad, i really thought i read 5800, but 4800 sounds better. sorry guys.

on the enthusiast issue. I don't think you'll be able to get 7.5k for it up front. Not only have you had huge swaps done/rebuilds/etc. but you're also modded. This means that anyone who doesn't understand cars/maximas in general are going to look at your car and say "damn street racer" etc. That is a huge turnoff. That's my .02. Part it out without asking for outrageous prices on used parts, and you should be fine.
