I would say, yes it's a little high. I would think Maybe $4000- $5000. But it's worth what someone is willing to pay. Now is not the best time to sell thats for sure. Good luck with your sell.
I've seen san supras car and yes he did over pay. LOL!!!
So did I when I bought my first supra.

Yep. I over paid for mine...91, turbo, 5 speed.....5gs. =[ I was dumb. O well. But honestly, I think thats a fair price on your car. But Im thinking the interior (rear) is whats doing it to you.

Ditto. But I don't think you overpaid for a 91, Airhead- If it makes you feel better, I paid $5100 for an '88 NA!
I paid $4500 for my first supra stock turbo. In bad need of a paint job. Missing the passengers seat. Live and learn.
Problem is, modding cars doesn't necessarily make them worth that much more. There's a big difference in price between an 88 and an 89. I have fixed a number of Supras and sold them and wouldn't get anything older then a 91 now unless the car was super clean and had low mileage. As far as your mods, the #'s are good, but you're working with a stock block which is less sought after compared to a simple build with forged pistons. Beyond that, the interior isn't that clean and the gauges mounted into the dash stand out. With each thing like that, you're reducing the "pool" of potential buyers. I'd start lightly parting it and sell it with less mods, you'll come out way better.
Just part out all the performance parts, and then sell the supra in stock form. mucho dinero that way.
I paid $2.5k for my stock turbo with a few leaks and scratched paint. Nothing too hard to fix, just a good amount of money and babying to get her up to specs.
The problem is ... well, many. The points that have been made above, sure. Plus, you're trying to sell during a recession, which makes for a significantly smaller pool of buyers. Then add in the fact that you're thinking that $15k invested means more than it does... $15k invested means less than $5k in value... if that. You'll *always* make more money parting it out than trying to sell it whole. Tough to do after you've put so much effort into putting it together, though. Furthermore, you're advertising on an enthusiast site, where everyone knows the $$$ value for each individual part, and worse, can look at the pictures and count up how much more money it's going to cost them to get it into the condition they want it.
I'd suggest places like craigslist, autotrader, and ebay if you're serious about trying to move it for a decent dollar value.
