(x-post from R53 mods) How much is my car worth?

Hi guys and gals!

I'm thinking of selling my 03 S Hardtop, and was hoping to get your help trying to decide how much to ask for it (or if anyone wants to give me a offer, I can live with that too! ) It has a ton of mods on it.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to be asking this. I can move it if need be.

The details:

Arctic Silver
~98,000 miles
6-speed Getrag Manual
Never Crashed
Clean Title
Harman Kardon Speakers
Heated Seats, Moonroof, etc.

The mods:
Supersprint Header
Full Magnaflow Exhaust
Mini Tuning Throttle Body
Alta Air Intake
Alta Lightweight Crank Pulley
Alta Supercharger Pulley (15%)
Nology Spark Plug Wires
Camshaft from Mynes
Bosch 550 Injectors
Bytetronic FA Lite Tuning Kit (with Tune)
Innovate MTX Afr Kit
Short Shifter
Koni Yellow Shocks
HK Springs
H-Sport Sway Bars (Front and Rear)
H-Sport Rear Lower Control Arms
2 sets of 17" rims, Mini and Tenzo Type-M
Rally Lights
2x Wolo Bad Boys
Pulsar Brake Light
Alta Front Plate Mounting Bracket

(I know I'm forgetting some stuff)

The Cons:
Some surface rust below the left taillight
Driver side door has scratches from something rubbing up against it.
Normal wear on the driver's seat (no tears)
No catalytic converter
No O2 sensor
New tires are needed soon.
The car sometimes dies while idling. I brought the car to the local Mini dealership and they said that the reason that is is because there's a leak by the supercharger, most likely the gasket or the pipe. The supercharger itself is supposedly fine. I said no thank you to their shop rates.

Overall, the engine is still strong, and the car drives as it should. I have some extra parts to go with it, including a new fuel filter and another set of headlights. Even with all of the mods, I've never raced this car, and never auto-crossed. Hell, I rarely go over 70mph. I pretty much sunk a bunch of money into this car without doing anything with it. I'm an idiot. I don't want to take the time to part the car out, and I need a more responsible car that can comfortably fit a baby seat. I think I'm gonna name the kid Dreamkiller.

I know that I'm not going to get the $10k+ that was put into the car, but what would be a realistic amount to ask for? I'm open to most offers.
Thanks for helping me out!
