Default Value my car!

I'm deciding whether or not to sell my car and try and get another car used. You guys let me know what you think it's worth.

I've got #1773 tC RS 4.0. Automatic.
- 10,009 miles
- Scion Navigation w/ iPod+AUX inputs
- Maintanence at 4,500 miles
- Again (done by myself since I'm in Canada right now) at 10,000 miles
- Uses Synthetic Mobil 1 5w30 Oil
- Replacing front brake pads with Hawk HPS with Motul RBF 600 Fluid as soon as these come in next week
- Slight damage on the RS4 front lip (I'd say about a $200 fix at a shop)
- Small rock chips here and there on the hood (not that noticeable) from the I-5 drive up

Modifications:
- Injen Short Ram Intake w/ Injen Air Filter (installed @ 7,000 miles)
- Tanabe Concept G Exhaust (installed @ 7,500 miles)
- Tein S-Tech Springs (installed @ 2,300 miles)
- DME Rear Strut Bar (installed at @ 5,000 miles)
- DC Sports Front Strut Bar (installed @ 5,000 miles)
- Painted Interior in flat black with red-ish/orange-ish accents
- Kyowa Evolve KR628 18" Wheels (installed @ 8,500 miles)
- Fuzion ZRI 225/40/18 Tires with ~65% tread (installed @ 8,500 miles)
- Red-ish/orange-ish painted calipers

I got this car with the navigation, install, automatic transmission and liscensing for $26k OTD. What do you guys think its worth now?

I would part out all of that stuff and put it back to stock. Most of that stuff will hurt the resale value. I would say you could probably get 15-16k maybe.

ballpark of $16k. sell all the aftermarket stuff and you'll be better off. unless you sell it to some kid that wants that stuff, the dealership wont give you anything for it.

You could sell if for $16k stock, kbb says 15k for just a standard tC so you could add some money since it is a RS model.

That is private party value, trade in you will get less.

I'm pretty sure my dealer STILL has an RS 4.0 new, auto, on the lot. They had 3 and the one 5spd sold right away. They had two autos up to a few months ago when the first one sold.

If you actually want to sell it, it's going to be about how much you're willing to let it go for and how patient you are.

26k for a tC? Whatever car you get, be prepared to roll over a few grand.

Navigation and installation for it was $2,500 + tax.

I'm probably gonna try and see what I'd get for it at a dealership with all the stuff on first. If it's lower than 14 or 15k, then I'll part all of it out and see what I'd get for that.

For now it's up for a feeler sale (if I get a decent offer, I'll sell it):
