Looks great, well optioned, well maintained! Anyone who knows these cars well will recognize the value. That being said, most new buyers DON'T know these cars well, and will be put off by the price at 110k miles when compared to less desireable examples offered at a lower price point with less miles. Also, an incomplete aftermarket sound system without head unit will put off many buyers, despite the bones of a nice system being there.
I suggest you put in a working mid-grade head unit, and offer to remove it for credit against the price if the buyer wants to use something else. List it in PCA to get exposure to the type of buyer that will recognize the added value of your car. Then be patient, your buyer will come.

As a fellow 02 S (104k miles) thinking of selling, your price is like houses, depends on inventory and how long your willing to wait. Personally in my area I don't think I could get close to that $$$. That sales price would be closer to what a dealer might sell for. Now I don't have a hard top but my 02 has the good options and lots of preventative maintenance.
I don't want to influence your attempt.
I do think when I get ready to pull the trigger I'm going to research all the various selling sites to come up with a price that works with what is for sale and the prices

Good luck and I hope the market is strong in your area.

Don't waver on the price. Take care of those nickle and dime items... giving your buyer nothing to have to worry about fixing/repairing. Nothing.

Drop in a head unit.

Get the dings removed (PDR).

That's a nice car. Plus... you've the hardtop.

Hold out.

GLWS!!!
