Your market is limited since someone will have to pay cash for the vehicle. It is basically a 2003 with a value in the low teens. It appears to be very nicely set up for road racing, and someone, like myself, would find it to be considerably more valuable since that is what I use my evo for. For the right buyer, you might be able to get $20-23k IMO.

But before you note any of that, theyll want to know what series you were racing in. So more than anything, is it a "racecar" that was actually raced, was it built for racing but never made it to a race, or are you talking about time attack type of competitions? I think regardless of what you note, interested buyers who care about certain things will ask you more detailed questions.
The other issue would be the overall build of the car and the cage. And if its actually legal for racing. Some people build their car for fun, or for time attacks and then later on decide they want to try racing. And then they find out their cage isnt all that legal. I remember seeing a build thread on this forum about a year or so ago. Part of the cage in that Evo wasnt legal for racing, and the owner wasnt aware. I dont know what happened to that car after that. I think his cage was also blue like yours. You wouldnt happen to be that guy?

Impressive build! 2.4l with that turbo must be a blast to drive
IMO, for a w2w car, my guess that anyone serious would want to re-do the cage or start from scratch which will likely add a mimimum of a few thousand dollars to the cost of the car.
Here's an example of a well-sorted car and associated price

Race car selling is tricky.
First and for most who build it? How much race time/hours the log books have?
How the log book is documented?
Serious buyers will ask these questions. Most likelly you will not find a perfect buyers because the race car is an experimentm and they each of their own. So you need to be agressive and professional on the sale. When you ask how much is worthn that already raise the flag. No offense. Just an advice for the sucsessful selling, which I hope it will come to you.

I have seen the car in person and it is extremely nice!
From my racing background I would say this is an excellent contender as a street tire time attack car! The cage is legal for racing, I have an identical cage with nascar style bars on the drivers side. My cage has been approved in the NASA midwest region for ST-1. Although I am addng to the rear to address what everyone says makes it non compliant, I am only doing it to tie in the rear subframe....

Depends on who youre asking. Like Nate noted, some people may want to know how competitive the car has been. For instance, when was the last time it was in a race? And proof of lap times. Ive heard stories of guys buying a racecar right after it finished the race.
But before you note any of that, theyll want to know what series you were racing in. So more than anything, is it a "racecar" that was actually raced, was it built for racing but never made it to a race, or are you talking about time attack type of competitions?

Your best bet is to work with the shop that did the build for you. They should be able to at least give you an idea of what it's worth and should help you sell it.

I'd get it out to some track days next year with some of the "richer" clubs. Go beat-up on some of the Porsche, Vette, and BMW guys and put a for-sale sign on it. It's got the right mix of parts to be pretty fast on most tracks per $$, especially when compared to other brands.
If you haven't had it on track since the major sections of the build it will have some gremlins to chase for sure. At least if it's anything like my car.
