The sad thing is that the paint and extra don't really add to the value. Everyone's idea of what modifications appeal to them are different. In my experience, a clean car with great original paint. low mileage and factory options will often have the widest appeal and therefore be worth more than a modified car even if the modified car is more fun to drive.

Like some others have said, put it on ebay with good pictures and with a reserve of the absolute bottom price you will take and see what happens. If you want to sell quickly, you need a price that motivates people to buy. As Mike said, most things on craiglist go very quickly if the price is right. If you get no inquiries within the first couple of days, chances are you are priced too high, are in the wrong market, or have a poorly written ad. Your ad seems good to me, so it is probably the price or you need to reach a wider audience, like on ebay.

For comparison

I know it is not the same market, but I bought my car late last summer. It is a 2000S, and had 61K when I bought it. Original paint and completely stock. I paid, $12k for it, and split the cost of a control arm and laser alignment with the seller, another $500. So I would have found it hard to pay $11k for an older non S with more than double the mileage.

Hate to say this....

but I just bought a 98 Porsche Boxster with only 72k miles on it for 8k.

13k seems way, way too high for the miles on that car.

YMMV.
