New kid on the way and need more room. Gotta give up my toy. I just don't know what it's worth. I mean I know what the book value is, but with almost 3k in mods, I don't know what to ask for it. Any advice? Sell it to a dealer? On here?

Two words, DON'T SELL!

Wife tying your hands on this one?
I would definitely NOT take it to a dealer... you can try here.

Wife and finances. We need to buy a bigger car. Figured the Fiesta would be a nice chunk down. Hate selling a paid for car, but here we all are lmao.
I could list it here, but I don't know what to ask for it. I guess I could estimate.

Mods don't add to the value of the car. If you have the stock parts, replace them and sell the aftermarket parts here.
Or, sell it as is here. You have mods a lot of people who know the car would want anyway.

Keep it and hand it down to your kid when they're old enough to drive!

FiST here are going for 12-16k depending on miles. miles seems a bigger factor then year but a 20k 19 is 16k all day. some of these are stock, some are not. If you take it to a dealer on trade they will hose you on anything aftermarket. they normally dont care, the car is worth its vin thats that. For the most part people that mod use trash parts and the car is worse then if it was untouched. You should see these hellcats we get in OMG. So if you want paid for the parts tossed you'll need to sell it private probably, or take them out and them them. A 17 with 80k is 12k here. So hope for maybe 13.5k to anyone 15k to the right one.
I've spent my whole 26+ yr career in dealers. Dealer will give you 8 is my guess unless you trade it in they might give you a bit more if your getting something with a 4 figure monthly.. They need theirs too. Bring it in spotless. Dirty cars cost less.
My question is, is it paid off? if not dump it, you only need 1 payment with an incoming. if it is then maybe think about keeping it. besides, there are more of them and they are cheap, you can do it again later if you really want. bigger cars cost more to drive and I can get 35mpg out of mine so its something to think about.

Thanks for the advice everyone! I'll be listing it on here in the coming days.

Forget dealers, they'll rip you off. Sell privately.
