The Value of this DC5?

So I posted my Porsche Cayman up for sale in my area, and in the photos, you can see my DC5 in the garage. A person saw it in my ad and asked me if I would sell it. It got me thinking about how much this car would even be worth because it is highly modified but with very high-end parts. I bought the car pretty modified, and then I added even more to it.

I figured I would make this post and get your advice. If this was your car, how much would you sell it for? The car is super clean inside and out, and it has absolutely no mechanical problems; everything works on it. The only problem it has is one of the headlights is a bit oxidized, but I would just buy new headlamps if I posted the car up for sale anyway.

P.s. The photo credit of my car on track goes to Caliphotography (I know, I know, sometimes I am a cheap bastard and don't buy the photos after the track day, lol. I don't mind the photo watermark.

Ha! No expense spared I guess 😂
I am going to put this on Bring a Trailer next week!
Miles? Or did I miss that somewhere?
I think to get the most $$, it's best to sell the parts, return to stock. It's a hassle yes but you get more interest.
When I was buying mine, I only looked for unmodifieds.
He aint gonna do that too much work as he bought it that way for most of the parts and might not still have the oem ones as the previous owner could still have them.Bring a trailer I estimate it to sell for 12k min to 15k tops.
A lot of good parts on there, but not everyone is gonna like aftermarket stuff. I'd price it similar to stock for the mileage, then add some for the tune, performance parts, and the name brand seats. BAT is good for stock examples. Modified cars are kind of niche for anything other than OEM plus mods.

You absolutely right about that best to sell all the aftermarket parts to us and put it all the way back to stock way quicker to sell that way and get the most money that way this video I watched over again from a while back reminded me cause heavily modified vehicles take awhile to sell and you don't always get top dollar for them.

I like your mods, nice choices, tastefully done.
Did you sell the Porsche yet?
What year is it and where are you?
Thanks
A person saw it in my ad and asked me if I would sell it.
You have are interest. I think it's pretty bad ass. It's not like it's painted purple with a Prince tribute mural on the hood. 12-15 sounds right to me also. Did you think or can you get up with the OP that gave you the idea to sell it?

Dude you're bugging. A stock 05'/06' in near mint condition goes for about 13k (I'm in Cali, but these are nation wide prices):rolleyes:
Okay mister I know what I got and my shit don't stink
Cali prices are not nationwide figures as cali is overinflated i bet you would sell a roller fully gutted for 3k wouldn't you mister i know what I got and don't low ball me takes you 2-3 years to sell anything and I bet I could look over your dc5 and find over q0 things wrong with it in only 2 minutes dont get me started cause I will hit you with the straight truth and facts and figures so hard your head will spin you aint even worth my time or breath and efforts.

I've only ever seen people selling this low when they don't know what they have, especially over the last 3 years.

You aren't getting that much out of it unless the miles are relatively low.

This is what I'm talkin' about! What would one consider to be low miles these day's? The national average is 15.000 a year. That would be for a daily. This ain't his only car plus I saw some crappy bike in his garage....lol Dude, how many miles are on it. I paid 12.5 for mine at 3 years old and it was half of the sticker. One owner lady driven (means nothing) No wreaks blah blah. These are starting to catch on and the Type S is getting hard to find. We all have a vested interest in this? 🤩
