Looking to sell, need help on pricing

Hey, I'm looking to sell my 2013 Honda fit. I need help on the pricing, how much do you think this car is worth? It has about 27k miles on there, still under warranty.

You can probably ask for $14.5k and come down from there

Honestly your best bet is to part out the body kit and convert it back to stock.

Honestly the Fit enthusiast crowd is few and far between and the only people who would even know you have the kit is another fit owner, but they aren't going to buy the whole car because they most likely already have a fit they are modding.

Soooo, the only people who are really looking for a fit with that mileage are the 50 year old grandmas who can tote their grandkids around in, the white collar worker who is looking for cheap car to sit in traffic all day, and the 20 year old girl who thinks it looks "cute" and wants to add eye lashes to it.

Because the demographic for fits is so wide it will most likely be purchased by someone who won't modify it or understand "why their fit looks different than the other fits on the road."

So I say part out (make some money on the kit) and maybe ask ~15.5K for the stock car.

I bought my 13 sport this summer and paid 18k.

To you the mods cost money and are worth it but the car loses value when it is diverted from stock form.
People assume you were a negligent teen who abused the car, raced it, and basically damaged the components for the long term reliability. I would not buy a modified car from someone who wanted to make it "sporty or racy" for the reasons I mentioned above.

So, like others said, to get the most out of it, you have to return it back to stock and conceal its modified past. Hopefully you didn't drill anything to install the rear wing, body kit, and aftermarket bumper. Hopefully the airbag sensors are not disabled from installing the aftermarket bumper. If you drilled into the metal body, those spots would not be more likely to rust, so don't advertise that mod!

Good luck.
