Totally get all those opinions.

Luckily, its a tune only and I can return it to stock tune in 5 min.

Parting it out sound like an avenue I will most likely take.

Thank you, guys!
The dealer can tell if you had a tune. The tune leaves tracks.so if it needs warranty work they'll see it had a tune.ypu sell it without telling buyer buy you'll have issue when he brings it in for serious servac..your better off legally telling buyer it had a tune otherwise he'll come after you if th3 dealer tells him warranty is void.then the buyer will come after you if you didn't tell him it's been tuned. Let buyer do homework on tuned cars being out of drive train warranry.good luck

Ill regret selling it when its gone. but i will be back again, for sure.

I just got married and we want to start a family. We both REALLY love the car and when we get it out, we enjoy it very much. But we could use the money for bigger, better things in the very near future.
Smart thinking my friend. Family always comes first. The toys and other things can always be reacquired down the road.

One important thing that I‘d like to add is, please remember to include the tuning device with tunes with the car, so that the new owner has some flexibility and isn’t locked into a mess that’s hard to straighten out.

Lots of people, who sell tuned cars keep the tuning devices and don’t say anything because they intend to resell the tuning device and make a few hundred extra dollars.

And no one wants your old SCT for more than $100 anyway. It costs almost $200 just to get it unlocked.

100%. I'm 150% transparent in my transactions. It's a curse. Lol.

I would never leave a tune installed without a device. That's down right cruel. If anything, I'd just throw 93 in and convert it all back to factory calibration.

You’re missing the points above about the tune though.

Even if you revert the car back to “stock” by “removing” the tune and flashing it back… the footprint of the tune is already there - that cannot be reversed.

It’s called key counts, it’s obvious when the vehicle has had any tune or revision to the PCM. Key counts in the PCM can’t be manipulated back to “stock”. So as much as anyone wants to say they’re being transparent (which is absolutely great), the PCM key counts have already been affected from the install of the tune and will be again from the uninstall.

Like others have said, if the car were to go in for any warranty work that is Powertrain related, the new owner could have issues if the Ford Service Center has to review PCM data for X-warranty work.

Just give the next person the heads up that the car was tuned and was flashed back to stock. Your best way to deal with this is when you do sell the car, write up a seller’s doc where it’s written that you and the buyer understand the terms and condition of the sale. You both sign the doc and you each get a copy of the signed doc. Make sure the VIN and mileage are present in the doc and if there are any items still left on the car that were not stock list those items. Write in there that car is being sold “as is” with no guarantees or warranties expressed or implied. This protects YOU from any future “hey man, you didn’t tell me XYZ”….

Very sad you are selling the car, I always loved your Cyper Orange GT/CS.
Obviously it is worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it, but below is the black book information for your car/mileage and specs. The value will depend on whether you are selling privately or trading in. Hope this helps give you a clue on the value for your state (Missouri).

The modifications are not reflected in these calculations. Some buyers may be willing to pay more for them, while others will not. Some might say the modifications reduce the price of the vehicle. Simply depends on the buyer.

Best of luck with the sale. I hope the next owner will continue posting photos of the car on here.

You are never going to get value back for all those mods. In fact, I'd might even say it would be a deterrent to the average buyer who doesn't appreciate such things.

That said, it's a super nice car. Id say high 30s-low 40s Maybe?

Trust me, I'm fully aware of all of that.

I wasn't implying I was intending to hide anything.

Just put the tune back to stock and keep your mouth shut about a tune. Just say you disconnected the battery to have it tested and discovered the battery was good and you just had a loose connection. That will explain the low key counts.

I’ve found Edmunds TMV is the value given “If the vehicle were to be traded in” not retail sale. My wife got rear ended in her GTI this year and the TMV is all State Farm would give essentially. And one year newer 2019’s were listed for $28,500 all day every day and all we got was $15,500.

Not to mention, it’ll be harder selling a sportscar in fall/winter than it would be spring/summer. I would just temper expectations and don’t expect top dollar. The numbers crew posted seem reasonable.

Use KBB as a guide but of course bump it up to like 45K or so specially if you have mods. I am sure a buyer will come buy and appreciate the mods and give you like 40-42K. Just be patient and for me personally offer up works pretty good. I sold my 2014 GT with mostly suspension mods + it was tuned for 20K with 130K miles. You could put it back to stock and sell it but sometimes someone comes along and digs your mods/looks of your car and pays that extra. Car is always worth what someone wants to pay for it KBB is just a guide. Good luck :like:

Edit: Once I sold it the buyer flipped my car and sold it for 27K he said. 🤷‍♂️ LOL

True you never get the money spent on mods back. But sometimes tasteful mods help buyers pay a little more than the average which helps you recoup some of the cost.

It’s a very nice car with some excellent and well thought out mods, not a hodgepodge. I think $40K isn’t unreasonable. Heck, I’m sure someone on here would appreciate those mods. Nice car!

KBB is 36k. I can't touch a car that's stock with the same miles for under 41k

I'm definitely considering parting out some things and putting the factory suspension back on.
Sorry, since no one else has asked, what are you getting to replace that beautiful beast?
