2. has been modified
3. has some stories in it's repair history

You've worked your way down in price by selling off modifications, but are still $1k above what KBB says the car is worth in a private party sale.
When you mention repair history, do mean the front end accident the OP disclosed or the recent transmission replacement and other parts? Are these stories that significant to affect value?

What does KBB say the value is? Do you know trade in value by chance?

I referred a friend to this thread who is in the market and has similar questions.
