Default Selling a Prelude..need help.

Alright guys, here's the thing. I basically need to sell my Prelude Type SH. But I need advice on what is a fair asking price. The Kelley Blue Book Private Party Value says $7500, but I have some mods and extra's in the car.

140,000 Miles
AEM V2 Intake ($250)
Apexi World Sport 2 Exhaust (400)
Front+Rear Strut Bars (60)
Fox Sport 5 16'' rims w/ Yokahama ES100 tires (50% tread)
System:
Two 6'' 180 watt speakers up front, Two 6x9' 240 watt speakers in the rear ($180)
Rockford Fosgate P3002 AMP (900 watt max) w/ 1.5 Farad Capacitor ($400)
Two 10'' subs, 350w max ($250)
Sony Face ($100)

New Brakes+rotors all around 5,000 miles ago
New Cat and Gasket
New valves

The car is in good shape all around, few scratches and dings, normal wear for a 140k mile car. Drives great, runs good, etc. Generally in all around good condition.

Any price suggestions? I was thinking between 9,000-10,000? Thanks

$7500 car + $2000 of modifications = $7500 modified car.

You never make back the money on mods unless you put the car back to stock and sell of the aftermarket stuff, or find a sucker that wants to spend more then the car's actually worth.

Usually the young kids who dont know too much about cars, who crave speed and attention will do everything just short of going bankrupt to buy a lude. Advertise it, and if its in as good condition as you stated, it'll be gone within a few days if that.

I personally avoid a modified car. Some people think that anyone modifying their car probably drives it harder than average.

You'll get less much than blue book. CarMax and everyone sell stock/used below blue book every day.
