mods were all done for yourself. It is going to be very difficult to find another prospective owner who was planning on doing the same, or similar, mods. Chances are, any prospective buyer will find mods he likes, but also mods that he doesn't, and that will detract from the price. Also, so many power mods will suggest that the car was abused, so that will drop the price, no matter how much you say that it wasn't abused. Therefore, you can set a reasonable price, say $25-30 thousand, and wait for just that right buyer, which may take a very long time, or bite the bullet, drop the price to say $20k obo, and hope for the best. I am in a similar boat. I recently bought an M5 because I also wanted something with proper rear seats. I have a Honda CR-V but that doesn't really count since I use it to transport my dogs around, and the interior is pretty much trashed. So now with 3 cars, I am also trying to figure out what to do with my Z. With so much money spent on my Z, it just isn't worth selling, and I still love the Z and also can't seem to stop putting more money into it. So I will probably end up just keeping it as my project/fun car. Also, the trick to keeping a lid on modding a car is not to start in the first place. Once you start, it is very difficult to stop. That is why I made a decision not to mod my M5. So, sell your other cars, keep the TT and buy a sensible, reasonably performing car. I think an e36 M3 would be a great daily driver, or maybe an acura TSX if you can afford that.
