Guy's, I am thinking of selling the first 11 second SHO and wanted some feedback first.  Here is a list of everything on it.

Performance mods done professionally by Livernois Motorsports

Interior in perfect condition, no worn spots and everything is in perfect working condition.

Heated garage kept and not driven in the winter

Have all records of purchases and maintenance.

Over $75,000 invested + many extra stuff I will send with it.

My question is what would be a fair price?
 
Kelly Blue Book puts a private party sale price right around $21,000. Then it boils down to how much all those mods are worth to a very small pool of buyers. You may be be able to ask and get around $30,000 to the right buyer. In all actuality you are probably far better off to bring it back to stock and sell the parts on the forum/EBay.
 
I would let it go for $30,000 and that's what I was thinking.  I do not want to take it back to stock.

Thanks for you thoughts.

The only hard part is finding that right buyer. I just went through this with my Jeep SRT-8 and it took a couple of months and taking off a couple parts off to make it all work out. A partial tear down of some easy to remove parts may be worth the effort.
 
I don't have to sell it and I am in no hurry, so its not a big deal.  I may just throw it on the forums and see what happens.  If it sells, it sells.
 
75K$ invested in mods? Ouch!!!
When I sold my 2010, I took back the easy parts, put it back to stock and got 22,500$ for it (+1,500$ for the 2013 flower wheels).
It had 62000 miles on it and it was a 2010 non-PP. So 30K$ seems to be a fair price. Good luck Mike and what would you replace it with if I may ask?

I disagree. $30K is a lot for a car with 76K miles. Now it is fast and all the work is done on it. But it's customized for you by you. My dad is having the same problem with his 08 Bullitt Mustang.  Lots of mods; CAI, headers, exhaust, tune, 4:30 gears, hurst shifter, all kinds of suspension work, stock wheels and tires as well as slicks and skinnies, rear seat delete, line lock, battery relocated to trunk, and 150 shot nitrous which was NEVER used. And only 3K miles. Been trying to sell it for a year and had 1 solid offer of $25K but the guy never showed to pick it up. He's seriously considering putting it back to stock. If someone offers you anything over $25K for it, take it and run. Just my opinion. Being the first 11second SHO does give it notoriety, but that only means something to a small group of people.  When private selling your car, it's all about finding the right buyer. Good luck in whatever you decide to do.

It's true, it is all about finding the right buyer and maybe in forum like here, you will have better chances. That said, if you put 75K$ (still can't believe it!), really you would get much more selling the pieces apart. I mean just look at the TCE brake kit, isn't it there about 6K$ just by itself. I am sure someone here would give you 3K$ for that alone. The meth kit another 500$, Mycal 500$, drag wheels and tires another 1K$, downpipes 500$, upgraded turbos (?), Airaid 150$, Corsa catback 500$... Just there, you have at least 6K$... Minus labor time a good 5K$ left and the car will sell better stock for sure... Probably low 20's K$...
Anyways good luck!
 
FS... What wiring did you do to keep the LED "auxiliary parking lights" on always?  TIA

For what it's worth, I gotta agree with steve.  The throttle body, being a "one of" should also command a nice price.
 
I have $5,800 in all wheels and tires alone with 7,000 miles on the Invos and 15 passes on the drag radials.  The TCE brake kit was not that bad as I was the fit car for them.  With Livernois doing all the work definitely makes the car hold value and anyone who has seen my car knows it is in great shape.

I really don't have to sell it and it will look good sitting next to my S6 or Q7 in any case, I was just wanting to clear some garage space as I have 5 cars.

If somebody want a great deal on a perfectly sound car they can talk to me.

In my opinion, a car that was performance out then taken back to stock is worth much less than stock to begin with.
 
FYI... Charlie who started GRRRR8, passed away and his  08' Red G8 GT that has turned in the 11's and has virtually every N.A. option, including full pedders coilover suspension is for sale for $25,000.  Mileage is around 6,000.  That's right... only 6K! Widow is selling it.  She needs the $$$$. 

You're all correct to a point.... A person who is planning major mods should consider this vehicle... but most would veer away, which is my fear with my 2010 Flex which has 67K miles.
On other non-Ford sites, it seems most sellers end up doing better parting out their mods and selling them separately.  But there is always value to someone to have the only (and always the FIRST) SHO to get into the 11's.
 
Thanks Bob for the Kind words and I am not looking to make money on it just looking to sell at a fair price.  That G8 is a great deal and will be picked up quick.
 
Yeah... I would buy it if I didn't have 2 + modded Flex.  Only thing I don't like on vehicle is the Weld wheels which are dished and solid polished aluminum.  I think it might get bid up higher, and is worth more just because of the mileage.  He didn't beat on it much, like most of us probably have with our toys.  Poor Charlie found out about 12 mo ago that he had Stage 4 lung cancer... and by the time he had issues, it had already spread to his spine and brain.  Never met him but talked with him on phone several times and had many e-mails.  He was to GRRRR8 like 4 DR is here... Only he didn't defect to the competitors... LOL... Actually Charlie was always a Ford guy and had many hot Mustangs before his G8.

Good luck with you ideas... S 6 is cool...  Just don't keep it beyond warranty... Those suspensions are a money pit!
 
With the performance cars I've owned in the past and being on several different types of forums watching for sale ads, etc...I've learned that when selling a car with mods you can expect about 1/4 the price of the current value of the mod if you find the right buyer.  For example, if your car would sell for $20k and you have $10k in performance parts...you will probably be able to sell it for $22.5k.  It will be increasingly difficult to find a buyer for amounts higher than that.  Im not saying it's impossible....just hard to find those types of buyers. 

$30k is a great price for what you are offering.  If I hadn't bought 6 months ago I'd probably jump on it.
