I base my 8k price on an ebay market value of 5k + 1/3 of the 10k aftemarket parts value. Cars just suck at holding value for the most part.
Also, many people are adverse to buying a modified car, especially if it includes forced induction on a NA car, etc. That narrows you down to people would buy a modified car AND can pay for it.
To a lesser degree I feel the same concern with my car. It's got 96k runs great but has a host of mods (suspension, brakes, exhaust, wheels, custom bodywork, audio, etc.) which might make many people leery of buying the car. My other option would be to try and trade it in, and I am sure that it's even less tantalizing to a dealer...would go straight to the auction I am sure.
