how much can i get for my quad?
Based on NADA I'm putting it at 1800-2000. I'll tell you why.
Buyer (a smart one) is going to look and see that it has been ridden hard obviously. He'll see that it has been submerged repeatedly and has god knows what sucked into the engine through the intake or through the engine seals or through the seals of the other components. He'll also be suspect of all the wiring connections on the ATV despite of any waterproofing that may have been done.
The cosmetics and crash damage will certainly add to that. The fact that you say that it has been well taken care of means nothing. All used ATVs and used cars have. Have you ever head someone selling one say 'I never changed the oil in this thing and I ran the **** out of it!" ?
Now don't take this wrong, I'm sure you took excellent care of it, after all it was obviously your pride and joy. I read how excited and enthused you were about it here on the forums. I know you took good care of it. The prospective buyer however thinks you're lying. The fact though is that iall of that means nothing when you sell one. No one believes you. People are even dubious if you have records from the dealer documenting oil changes etc.
When you're selling the mods you listed mean very little.
The snorkels and breathers don't add anything to the value. If anything they detract from it and tip off buyers to the fact that it was submerged regularly.
The heated grips and ammo box really don't add much in the way of dollar value unfortunately.
The lift doesn't doesn't do a whole lot I don't think for dollar value neither does the hitch though like the heated grips and ammo box they are things that might 'sell' a prospective buyer but it won't bring in more money.
It's gotta have tires and what they are doesn't particularly matter as long as they're good.
The winch can add a hundred bucks or so to the price.
In my experience a buyer is going to look at that ATV and see these things.
1 It's a 2x4.
2 It's been ridden hard. A lot.
3 It's been swamped. A lot.
4 It's been wrecked.
5 Someone has been messing with it.
1 makes it hard to sell in my neck of the woods period. 2 3 4 and5 make people really really nervous. 5 especially.
So I'd say 1800 to 2000 and you would be doing well.
Just my experience. Your mileage may vary.

thats the link and you can't tell the rack is bent in the pictures and barely in person (got it straightened out)...
Do you think if i bought new plastics, it'd raise the price up since it'd look brand new i guess? I'm so lost on what to do...
what do you guys recomend doing? lower the price? you do make good points, just wish somebody would just buy it lol....and i want to sell it so i can upgrade to a bigger engine and to have 4x4....

well....they said 1500 but they was before all the mods.... (because the plastic was in such bad condition)....
maybe we'll take it to them while it's clean and see what they would give us for it.....
i doubt they'd give us like 2300 lol but we'll seee anyway...

Not more than $2000.
And the way you listed it on Ebay, I doubt that you will even get a bid.
You should have had a starting price of $10 and put a reserve of about $1800. That starting price is too high and will make people ignore it.

Between the lift and the snorkel ... you pushed the value down to no more than 2000.00, but more like 1800.00.
New plastic doesn't mean a thing after you did the above.
In my area a bare stock machine has a much higher resale value, then any modified machine ... most buyers will think you broke it and now are dumping it.
I would return it to stock, clean up the plastic (do not replace ... people are then sure you wreaked it), and make sure all the fluids are clean.

I would also keep the winch for your next quad.
