To sell with or without mods
Hi all - Have owned my 1M since July 2012 - VO 05/12 built - currently done 6300kms.
Love the car but it is a little too small for the family with 2 growing kids! Mods on the car thus far include : Akra Full Evo Titanium exhaust with Carbon tips, Akra downpipe, ER chargepipe with BOV, aFE dual air intake, Evolve R FMIC, Evolve R Stage 3 ECU tune, 3 piece wheels with deep dish orange lips and gunmetal centres. Have received a semi-decent trade in price but have to remove all mods and return to original! Would appreciate thoughts/opinion - if you were looking for a car - would mods put you off? I suppose I could always sell the performance parts separately......

In the past I have had no problems in selling my 2 previous cars that were heavily modified. A modified car always looks better than the standard one if done properly IMO. We need to do another hill run before you sell it Just wondering whats next car on your mind?

I'd try selling it modified. Sounds like your mods are tasteful and your car has very low km's anyway. Should easily be able to sell it to the right buyer at your asking price.

You have some very nice mods that rarely pop up in the used market. You will have no problems quickly selling your aftermarket parts.
Like the other guys, I agree you will come out ahead if you part out, it will just take a bit of time and a little work to get the car back to stock. Good luck with your sale. |

Part It out. Performance mods on a performance car for sale never gets a second look from me. The stigma of "beat to hell" is what always comes up. Plus, You wont be making near the amount of money back on the upgrades selling it as is instead of parting t out.

I've had a flood of enquiries on the parts and am trying to find invoices to work out what I paid and to come up with hopefully a fair used price and will probably post up in the for sale thread to be fair to all. In meantime - gonna have fun searching for the next toy!
