I've prob missed a few bits, but you get the idea. Car has had oil changes every 5k and the last owner did the same.
It drives like a new car and is Ballistically quick and a joy to drive
So people what you think its worth. Don't be put off by the mileage as Niki said the engine is in great condition due to many many 5k oil changes during its life

here in nz a ed35 stg3 very similar to your set up venom 450 sold and it went for $30K NZD ($15K-$17K pounds) it has around 80Ks tho, i would say you could get about $10K-$13K pounds for yours

Sounds like a nice car. You haven't said it has been forged and from the torque figure I am guessing not. So it is really whatever the Venom 450 is worth on top of a higher mileage Stage 2+ car.

This spec and miles as a 2+ car I'd guess £7k? So with the Venom 450 perhaps £8k or a little more? Stock might be £6k. I'm talking sold price, not advertised price.

We pour money into these things but mileage has a massive impact on the price. I also think that most people buying a modified car will expect more in the way of suspension. That said nice to see some quality stuff like the Airtec, the BCS, the Revo and obviously the turbo.

If you have original parts it may be worth going back to standard-ish.

I think it all depends on how soon you need to sell it.

If you are in no hurry I'd advertise it for 10k and see how much interest you get. You can then adjust the price or not depending on if you're still ok with not needing it to sell quickly.

If you want it gone soon then I advertise at 8k.

Regardless, the mileage unfortunately will put some off, especially now it's at that power. In any advert I'd list the times and dates of each oil change, it's the only way to attempt to counter the mileage. Maybe do a wet and dry compression test and put those images in the ad?

It sounds a very well sorted car in good conditon with proven high power.

Yeah I'd agree with £10K as a starting point as it's got all the goodies on it, which most ED30 buyers would want to do anyway. Realistically I think £8.5K is achievable because of the mileage.  Just depends on finding the right buyer, but if it's minty fresh inside and out, that will definitely help with the value.

I got £2.3K for mine as a trade in with 178K on it    Mileage is a killer in terms of value I'm afraid.  It was standard other than Revo 1 and a Helix clutch though, so not in the same league as yours.
