According to Canadian Black Book, a Lancer of that vintage with that kind of mileage has a CBB price of $5,896 to $7,581. Note that the CBB price list pretty much the trade in price, so private sale prices are supposed to be higher.

While it is true that the OP put a lot of care into the car, and did a lot of custom mods, at the end of the day, the market price of the vehicle will be based on the CBB value. The condition of the car can only take you so far, and custom mods, even if they were tastefully done, do not add value to the vehicle unless the next buyer is also looking for pretty much the same mods. As a matter of fact, mods will generally hurt the price of the car because the general impression is that a mod car is one that has been thrashed and beatened and driven hard.

Which model and what year are you referring to? Even the dealer (FYI, it's the Mitsubishi dealer) is paying a higher price than what you've mentioned on your post.  I am sure the pricing on your comment  is not the same car as what I am posting here.

Since you have a good number of mods on your car, my guess is that your best hope for a good price is to market it towards mod-friendly people. Maybe Revscene or some other place instead of general purpose classified such as Craigslist.

Again, good luck with your sale la.
