I have a very close and general amount of what I spent to build my car...well, up to this point that it's at right now anyway and as Todd said, come to an agreed value that you could live with. You're never gonna get out of them what you've paid for them normally. So, for example, if you spent $35k building/restoring the car and you decide you're not gonna take no less than $28k for the car...set your asking price at $33k because some tire kicker is going to try and haggle you down. At $28k, reassure said buyer that you have receipts, pics, videos, etc of the build process to justify your asking price of $28k and to help him understand the deal he would be getting at that price. Now, if the car was built 20 years ago at $35k and parts on it are now old, out of date or worn out...that'll be another story.
