I am new to the site and am looking for a G35. I plan on making it F/I. I have found a few I like that are already modded to the point I want. On the subject of price, how much should be payed for a car that is already modded. A lot of the ones I am looking at have 10-15K put into them. What is a good percentage to pay for the mods already on a car?

 

The question that everyone will ask is what mods are you looking for on the vehicle? Also, what year, etc?

 

Depends on mods and fair market value. I would say it is only worth what someone think it is if they care for the mods. The seller will have a hard time selling his modded vehicle since many will think it has been abused. Use that to your advantage and act like you do not care about the mods. I would say mods are worth between 40%-60% of price paid. I would value them on the lower end of the spectrum since when I go to sell the car people will hastle me on mods. You need to find a particular buyer for a modded car where anyone will buy a stock car.

 

I have been looking at mostly 04 and 05. Mainly one 04 with JWT TT and Bilstien PSS9 coilovers. Here is a link on auto trader with all of the mods. http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...id=AT-10C9E6B0

The cars BB is around 18K. I just dont want to pay too much just because it has mods. I have seen some people that have tried to get their money back on the investment and I think that is a little unrealistic. As far as this one goes. There is so much done to it, I dont know where to start.

 

It would be an interesting way to treat this kind of passionate things with all....

 

Some mods do not give the car more value but can actually bring it's price down.
