Default Need advice on valuing my car...

Hey there Audi Forums! I’m green to the forum world and need some advice. I bought a 2007 A3 S-line Quattro several years ago that has an incredible amount of work. I purchased the car with 9020 miles on it, and currently the odometer reads 11688. It’s been sitting in a garage for the last few years covered and hooked up to a battery tender. Estimates rate it between 415/420HP and most of the work was completed by HPA Motorsports in BC. I have copies of most of the invoices but don’t have receipts for everything done. There is over $75K between parts and labor in the information I do have. The interior was worked over, stereo included. Exterior has an Oettinger body kit. The wheels are IMSA, and they are a 2&9/16” SINGLE lug with a conversion/adapter kit. The wheel/adapter set up was over $20K alone, I was told by the manufacture (in Germany) it is one of a handful of sets in the US. I have listed the mods below and numbers are rounded to the nearest dollar. I’m simply trying to get a feel for market value. I have pictures and would appreciate any interest or help I can get. This really is a spectacular example of a very well built, and very FAST A3 that deserves a good home and someone who will appreciate it. Feel free to send questions, and I’ll try my best to help. Or you can call me, Tim, at 816-726-6833 and I can send the info. I have pics. Thanks again!!

Good luck finding a home for this pretty lady!
Word on the street is that you never get the money back out that you put into a car so don't expect to get anywhere close to the total you listed (just my 2 cents).

BTW: Who the heck pays 20k for wheels?

The first owner was a Dr. in Atlanta GA and his brother in law worked at a Lambo dealer there. That's how he acquired the wheels from my understanding. The receipt shows $12,655 for wheels, but I called about replacement and the manufacture (in Germany no less) quoted $4900 for the front (19x9) and $5000 for the rear (19x10). Dunno how much the adapter kit runs...

Thanks for the update with Pictures. Looks really good and clean. I still don't see how someone could spend this much money on wheels.
Love the car - but way out of my price range

Not so much looking to get what's in the car, just trying to see what it's worth given the condition, mileage and work done to it. Thanks for the response though...
