It's been a great ride. I've had my BRZ since May 2012, and it's been fantastic. But life is calling for me to get a sedan these days, so I'll be parting ways with the BRZ sooner rather than later.

Here's the skinny on the car: This is one of the best treated, well-cared-for BRZs out there. I bought the car new in May 2012. I've put 26k miles on the car over the last 5 years. It's never seen snow, or cold weather at all, and I've even kept it out of the rain if at all possible. Always garage kept. I even avoided taking it to the mall to avoid door dings. Dealer maintained with records. The interior looks brand new. The car is 100% functional and needs nothing.

It does have some mods:

RCE yellow springs with Koni shocks (~0.8 lowering) with Whiteline bushings for camber adjustment
17x8 Enkei PF-01 wheels with Michelin Pilot Super Sports
Borla Header/Perrin resonated exhaust and tune by Pure Automotive Performance

Oter things that no one will particularly care about and probably even not know it's not stock:

European OEM center console cover
Backup camera with stock stereo
Black painted roof
Red tinted/painted tail lights

I'm under no illusion that the mods bring any value to the car,but I would like to sell it to someone in the enthusiast community that would appreciate it. I have all the stock parts and can de-mod it if necessary. Anyone that buys the car as-is would get all the stock parts to go with it.

How much is the car worth, private party? I've done an Autotrader search, and comps (2013-2015 BRZ Limited Manuals with < 40k miles) seem to be in the $16k- $20k range (usually from dealers). The high end of that range can't be right, can it? Here's the comps:

I know my meticulous care and feeding of the car won't mean a whole lot to most people, but the condition of the car has to say something, right?

Based on the comps, I was hoping to list the car for $16.5k-$17k and accept ~16k for the car. Is that far off?

Here's some pictures of the car:

The wheels are plastidipped gold. This is how the look without the plastidip:
