Value?

I’m kicking around the idea of selling one of my R53s. Wife thinks I don’t need two of them I guess she’s right. Anyway it’s a ‘05 S Hyper Blue 71k mikes and original California car. Has all options except heated seats. Even has the limited slip axle. I have added a 16% pulley, Miltek exhaust and a CAI along with Marshall boost and oil pressure gauge. Car is in excellent condition with not a spec of rust anywhere and I’m the second owner. I not sure what it would be worth but I’d like to see $6500. Is that reasonable?

If you have the time to wait a little. Ask for $7500 and you should get at least 6500 I would think. It would probably sell for $5500 in a heartbeat.

My friend/neighbor sold his '05 stock, lightly optioned Hyper Blue S with similar miles for $7000. The car was very well taken care of and he sold it in less than a week.

I just bought mine off FB marketplace. Seemed like a better selection there vs Autotrader when I was looking.
