What could I get for my '05 8

Well, I've considered selling my car and was curious what everyone thinks I could get for it in the condition it's in.

2005 Evo 8 with SSL package(Sun, Sound, Leather)
8,400 miles
Tarmac Black with black leather
5spd

Been maintained at Alexandria Mitsubishi for all work. Modidications have been done by the professionals at AMSTuning,Evolution Autosports, and TurboTrix.

Engine:
HKS 280 cams/HKS cam gears/ARP headstuds
GTSpec manifold/MR 02 housing/Ported 10.5 hotside
RsR downpipe/cat delete
Agency Power Ti exhaust
Walbro 255 fuel pump
Turbosmart BOV
Hallman MBC
NGK BPR8ES spark plugs
TurboTrix mail-in flash

Engine bling:
ARC Ti Gradient spark plug cover
ARC Oil car
ARC Rad cap
*Uninstalled, but included: Neisi FMIC, Piping, Small battery, Forge WGA*

Suspension:
KSport coilovers w/ pillowball mounts
GTSpec front strut bar
GTSpec rear trunk cage

Brakes:
ProjectMu Forged BBK with 325mm rotors
ProjectMu SS brake lines
ProjectMu Kai rear brake pads

Interior:
AMSTuning.com C/F Craig Hardy panel
Defi BF Amber gauges: Boost, EGT, Oil Press.
Defi control unit
Tyrant C/F armrest cover
HKS Type 1 turbo timer
Ralliart Sun Visor decal
Amber cluster lighting and OEM radio
OEM Radio relocation kit

Exterior:
Do-Luck C/F lip (real deal)
Varis C/F intake/oil cooler ducts
CarbignCraft exhaust shield
20% tint
JDM MR Vortex Generator
JDM MR tailights
EvoDave 'MR style" headlights
Shaved "mitsubishi" badge

Car has been babied. Has minimal paint damage on the front bumper/hood. Many people can attest to my cleanliness of the car, and the rare usage of it.

I was thinking of asking around $40,000...but if I do decide to sell it, I'll probably end up parting it out.

And a pic of my un-updated whored out car:

Modifications decrease the value of a car, not increase it. There are some exceptions (profesionally race prepped cars, SCCA prepped and the such) but you should consider bringing it back to as-stock-as-possible and selling it private party.

While this is true, you've got a very clean looking car and the right buyer might pay for it, but finding that buyer would be hard!

See what the loan value is on the car, and that is going to be about the most you can ask for it.

While your car is one of my favorites on this site, I'm going to have to laugh at getting 40k for it. You would probably get 27k tops private party. Part it out and sell it and you could probably make 25k on the car and probably 4-5k on mods. Your only big dollar mods are the wheels and seats. Rest of the stuff won't add up to much.

He could make more than 25k private, I would say more like 27-28k. 25-26k is what I would expect at a dealer. Also don't forget the Project Mu BBK, that's worth a bit

you are probably right, although every car that I see with lots of (expensive) mods, a) doesn't sell
b) sells for much less than it's worth
c) gets parted out

Turn it back to stock, and part out those mods, you could make about 32k tops.
