As long as the interior and exterior are clean these are my thoughts. To the right younger buyer $10,500. I say younger buyer because it's a 5spd with mods and if you emphasize the performance to the right young dude with cash he'll pay top dollar (harder to find this specific buyer).
A normal every day Joe would only expect to pay probably $9,000. The Joe would probably have no compassion for your mods and equity (easy to find Joe). That means you would have to bite the bullet on your mods that you leave with the car.
My suggestion: Post your car in all forms of popular media. Triad, Toronto Sun, Automart, Autotrader, etc.
Good luck
