I ended up backing out because I can't think of another car that I would rather have, truthfully. With your mods, I'm thinking $23k-$24k is a good place to start and be willing to give a bit. You want the most out of your car, I agree with parting it out.
PS-I'm hoping he's on here, see's this thread and feels like a fool.

It's a matter of opinion. Someone wants your car with aftermarket parts and doesn't want to pay for them because they 'decrease value'...then you offer to put OEM ones back on and they want the price lowered? By their logic you should ask for MORE in OEM form?
How are my suspension components made out of superior material and capable of wide ranges of adjustments decreasing value? I'm not talking about a shitty carbon-wrapped hood that's only for aesthetics.
I'll just come out and say it: if you try to get a car with aftermarket parts on the cheap then we're not going to agree on things. I guarantee that not one of you guys saying parts decrease in value fresh-out-the-box would sell a used part for less than 85% of it's original value. By that logic, all coilovers in the FS threads would be $700 and TE37s would cost $1500.
That's ludicrous.
