Time to sell, your advice please!

Hey there everyone. I think the sad day has finally come. After 9 years, I'm ready to sell my WRX & move on. I JUST finished doing all the suspension mods, it's basically ready to have some fun at the track but has never been. I'd hate to start pulling parts & would much rather sell it as-is to someone that will really enjoy it. However, there is the issue of finding that right person that understands and appreciates the modifications that have been done to a used, high mile subie haha. I purchased the car with 130k on the clock & have just been doing a few mods here & there every year since:

Okay, here's the run down:

-2002 WRX sedan
-210k miles
-Runs like a top, goes through NO oil/coolant/fluids at all (I know I'm gonna regret selling this one haha)
-The paint is in rough shape. The clear coat is starting to give up.
-Has a good number of door dings.
-Has a good number of mods: MOD LIST

I've done all possible maintenance, including timing belt, all fluids with RedLine, Cocktail in the Trans and Rotella T in the crankcase.

Right now, the bone stock version of the car in it's current condition is worth about $4700 on KBB. I really don't have any of the stock parts lying around or a garage to wrench on it a whole lot. In everyone's opinion, would it really be worth sourcing OEM parts to sell the aftermarket stuff separately? Or would I be better off holding out for the right buyer to hopefully sell it for slightly more as is?

How much are you looking to get? I'm interested. And when was the last timing belt done?

I did the timing belt / water pump / pulleys / tensioner at around 140k, shortly after I purchased the car.
