Talking If Selling Car ?

If you were looking to sell your car, and you got it looking and sounding just right would you;

sell it as a whole car already modded or would you turn it back to standard, and sell everything single for a few extra bucks?

Example:-

GPW S2000 66000 km's on it (JDM) (Not de-limited)
2x UK MOT's in KM's
service from import of 32000km's by honda dealer

On the Car:-

New roof with glass insert (fitted)
Amuse exhaust (fitted)
K&N Gen II (fitted)
Rear speakers (fitted)
Alpine head unit fitted, with full speed Ipod connection (fitted)
04 audio door (fitted)
18" PIAA wheels fitted (made to measure) one of a kinds in the UK, for an S (fitted)
MUZ top brace & MUZ lower brace (fitted)
MUZ full lenght car mats (fitted)
MUZ boot lid organizor (fitted)

Spares:-

orginal air box, and filter
16" Wheels and tyres
orginal exhaust
orginal audio door


Let me know your thoughts, and what sort of price would you sell it for?

IMO if yu have some engine mods, people tend to believe its been ragged all its life and may perhaps put them off.

Though you have some nice mods, IMO i think you would be better off reverting back to stock to increase the chances of a sale.

Cheers

selling with mods do limit the number of people you could sell to.
Also well chosen mods retain a good % of their value when sold seperately.
Are you really considering selling?

Kiwi - If you're contemplating selling your car (and I can't believe you are)

Put the car back to stock, prepare to have your arm bitten off when you put the car up for sale and then sell your mods seperately.

Being GPW, I'm sure you won't have much trouble selling your car. It will be easier if it's more or less stock, and there are many out there who will buy the mods at a good price

Have a chat to Dark Blue Mark, I know he's looking for an S2k although he may only want Dark Blue!

It's a very well kept S too, I have seen it

You will get more for the mods seperately but its the PITA of putting it back to stock.
