I'd stick near $11-12k. You sunk some money into this and your only real target audience are other tuners. You can't really part it out without making it look like complete shit, so you are kind of stuck with "as it sits".

Nice clean look by the way, Looks sick.

Your mods list looks impressive and the pics look sharp. Unfortunately, mods don't hold any market value unless your buyer is another tuner as Pearl mentioned.

By selling as is, you've narrowed your market quite a bit. Everyday drivers looking for a practical car might not go for the drop or this mod or that mod, etc... Hover around car meets, car shows, track meets and such... might get a better sell price. Take your time if you can. Good luck!

I know I'd never be able to get the price a stock Fit would bring so I'm keeping it around until I can no longer drive and let my kid have it.. The fat redneck kid down the road thinks I should sell it to him for $2000.

Mine is mostly stock with less miles, if you want to just trade straight up to expand your target audience.

EDIT: damn yours is auto

Trading is an option I hadn't considered. I suppose I would be up for it if it made sense, such as a stock Fit with lower miles straight up, or similar mileage with some cash on top.

Yeah, about the auto trans, I originally bought this car for my wife, so that's why it's an automatic. A few years later, I bought her a CR-V, and took the Fit.

I work for a certain unmentioned car appraisal company, and I saw an 08 Sport with 120,000 miles on it priced for $10k at one of the dealerships I service. My jaw hit the floor when I saw the price, thinking I got ripped off when I bought mine, but then I saw the mileage. The thing looked brand new, like it just rolled off the assembly line, other than some wear on the shifter. The guy musta recently quit smoking or something because the little ring of rubber trim around the top of the shifter was picked off.

Either way, I think $12k + isn't a bad starting point.

could try craigslist if you don't feel it's too risky. I've had a couple buddies sell modded cars on craigslist at pretty much asking price. Good luck with whatever route you choose to go.

I'd say part out the custom pieces and get it back to as close to stock as possible...if you kept the original wheels, springs, etc. Then sell the sound system, air intake, and other upgrades separately. $12K for the base car.

with the mods looks like you got some green hold onto it and do shows and just get a daily driver that is a nice looking machine I'd buy it if i didn't live where i lived
