Time to say Good Bye??? How much for my ride with some mods?

Hey guys I'm really considering selling my LS430 to use the funds toward a down on a home. I know the value of the LS has already gone down quite a bit but I was interested in seeing what you think is a fair price for my car.
It's a 2002 LS430 UL Black on Cream with the grey wood trim what ever it was called. Currently has 131k miles on it and I have the clean title in hand. It was always maintained with either Amsoil or Mobile 1 full synthetic oil and all service is up to date. She runs like new. I am the third owner and was unfortunate enough to be rear ended so I had to have the rear bumper repainted other than that there is no accident history. I'm not really sure if the accident even shows up in the history as I have no carfax account to run one but will gladly give out the vin if you can run one for me as well. The car was a Lexus CPO certified pre-owned vehicle when I got it. Couple minor scratches here and there as to be expected by a 9 year old vehicle but everything is still shiney and new looking for the most part..
Daily driven when I first got it till I got my other car and then it became my occasional special weekend driver. Everything still shines and looks good. The Front fenders were rolled and rear fenders were cut. It will come with a Shine Auto front lip and sides as well as the factory trim which can be re-installed. Factory rims will be mounted as I've already sold the rims pictured to a close friend. Also includes custom Front and Rear Lowering blocks, Youzealand pro Type, as well as custom front adjusting arms for max drop.

All pics taken by my mobile phone so they aren't the greatest but you get the big pic... It was not on a level surface and still adjusting in the pics so its a little un-even. Car was rarely driven that low and always went up for bumps.. Just wanted to show her sitting low.. It can still go down another inch or so if you wanted by adjusting the sensors..

How much do you think I can get for her??? All comments and suggestions are appreciated..

Hmm, You guys think I can get more or about the same by removing the lowering blocks and selling it as stock??

I just want to get as much as I can otherwise I'll keep her and remove the insurance till I need to drive her. Making insurance payments for full coverage and taking her out just 1 or 2 times a month is no longer possible with the other payments I'll need to be making..

book value in applicable condition. parts installed are not worth enough to alter the price of the car imo. might as well sell it stock and see what you can get for the mods on their own.

The LS 430 is an awesome vehicle. If it's paid off, I'd probably keep it and continue to save. I recently purchased a new home and understand how difficult finances can get.

Thanks guys, I'd like to keep it but paying full coverage and driving the car so rarely just kills me. We could use every penny at this point. But if i cant get a decent offer i'll just drop the insurance and hide her in my dads garage. Pics are taken at my parents place out in lakeside.

Thanks for all the pms and offers for parts but I really don't want to part her out yet as I may end up keeping her..

Would 15k cash be a reasonable starting point? Anyone know the current market rate on these?
