Sorry - I didn't mean to come off as condescending - it's just struck me as kind of a far-fetched idea. But yeah, I understand if you're not familiar with the car and the market you might think there's more there than there really is to what some of this stuff is worth.

You have a fairly unique car - most aero cars are usually pretty heavy optioned, so you might want to take some time and decode your option list (sticker under the front hood) and see what you have.

If it was me, I'd get it caught up on basic maintenance - fluids, belt and the like, check it for maintenance codes and get them taken care of, then detail it and sell the car on it's first impression looks and option list.

If you plan to sell it and you get deep into maintenance trying to make it perfect you'll quickly run out of profit margin.

If you decide to keep it, make it as perfect as you can and enjoy the ride.
