Default need advice on selling my 2001 z06

I currently have a 2001 Z06 (torch red with mod red interior). The car has 81,000 miles on the chassis. The engine is a new GL crate engine with under 2,000 miles. The trans recently had a new Ram 2 clutch installed (5,000 miles ago) as well as a BMW short shifter. I have installed LG stainless long tube headers and H pipe and kept the Z06 cat back. The car currently has a procharger P1sc-1 kit installed (1 year ago), a aquamist meth kit, and the rear end gearing was replaced with 3:90's. Car dynoes at 525 rwhp but has never been raced. Car also has a DTE trans brace, custom 2 din radio bezel with a kenwood unit and all new memphis speakers inside. I have been told by my mechanic that I might want to remove the procharger, meth kit, and bezel gauges and sell those seperately to help recoop some of my costs? What do you guys think? Should I sell it with the performance mods or sell the parts seperately? With all the performance mods I was going to list low at 21,000. Exterior is 9 out of 10, interior is 8 out of 10. Never wrecked. Is that a fair price in this economy?

The car also has 19x8 (front) and 20-11 (rear) Iforged swift wheels (black powder coated centers with torch red outer barrels w/new Michelin Pilot sport pro tires. I was also thinking about selling them seperately for 3,000, or should I keep them on the car and ask 24,000? Looking for advice.

At $21k for those mods that's a great price, as far as the wheels you can go either way. I would leave it as an option for the future buyer $24k with the wheels or sell them them outright for $3k best offer. Seems alot of Vette owners are looking for decent wheels now a days so you should'nt have a problem selling them outright!

Is the motor all stock other then what you listed?

Moved to C5 Z06 for pricing and other sales suggestions. Either ask a moderator to move it back to sales when you're ready to post an asking price, or else start a new thread in the C5 Vettes for Sale forum with the asking price in it.

Yes, I would remove the SC and meth kit if I were you. You're not going to get any more for the car with it and it may scare many potential buyers away. You could easily sell the parts seperately and get a good bit of money back on them that way.

I would definitely part some of that stuff out. Modifying cars has always been a losing situation money wise because its almost impossible to get your money back out of it. Like previously stated the modifications will narrow your possible market while not really bringing any more actual value to the car. While you can raise the price a bit there is no way you will get your 5k back from the procharger or meth kit.
