Realistic price for a 1998 240SX SE w/ manual?

I am probably going to be selling my car this year and moving into a M3. I really loved this car and it's been my longest owned (since 2004).

I have done just about everything save uber wheels and the engine.

Some of the mods:
KTS coilovers with much of their arms and parts
whiteline sways
Nismo powerbrace, mounts and exhaust hangers
a 5Zigen Pro Racer 80mm cat back with 3" cat and header
alarm
fully dynamatted interior
1/0 guage wire to the truck with power distribution for future battery relocation
Silvia VLSD
R33 GTST brakes front and rear with working handbrake, 16/15 master cylinder
will have a new OEM clutch this month
Narva lights
JDM Grill
much of the interior parts have been replaced with new Nissan (mats, signal/wiper lever, radio and vent trim, etc)
windshield
new weatherstrips (this month, I have had them for a long time as a backup)
Optima yellow top last year.
17x8 Ford Cobra wheels, tires will probably be new Fuzion ZRi's this month....I was on Goodyear Eagle's prior (currently Asymmetrics with 10k on them begging for replacement).

It's clean, minor accident fixed with all new body parts (new headlights last year because of this)....no frame damage.

Just don't know the right way to go with the sale. I know I am going to eat much of the cost of the mods, but I really don't know what the car is 'worth'.

I have gone and looked at some local sales with swaps but they are rattletraps. I haven't really seen a stocker. Almost all have SR20's or other engines (and aren't pretty).

My car looks great inside and out.

Mileage is 108k, I am the third owner bought this car with 70k. It's an original manual transmission SE not a conversion.

I usually do all my own work and torque EVERYTHING to the specs...I own the FSM for this car along with all the downloads. When I can't do the work it's always been done at the best shops. Ernie Bello has done my alignments each year. He's not cheap, but he is good...many drive down to him. I have my tires put on by a 3rd generation family owned shop. They give a wheel guarantee unlike other tire shops that may scratch custom wheels and not give a crap.

I am selling as I am finally debt free and have always wanted a M3...if I have to sacrifice this car it's going into storage. Maybe I will make it a full-time track car that I don't mind an occasional rub or dent.

Thanks
