alright guys this has been a great ride for me BUT its time to finally sell my car
well first off my car is a 2005 laser red coupe 5A/T 54k miles tan interior OEM rays Premium Bose system basically loaded w/o NAV.
my question is should i part out my car and sell it as a stock car or sell it as is?
also do you guys think that it will have less value if i try to sell it with the mods on it??

btw the mods are top speed exhaust/ megan racing test pipes/ 25mm ichiba spacers all around/ tanabe df210 springs/ ichiba rear camber kit w/ toe bolts/ionics eyelids/ nifty-shifty tan suede shift boot...and thats it....i had a sound system in it but i already sold it to a friend separately...

so ya guys what do you guys think?? i currently have it for 20K.
do you guys also think this is a fair price?
thanks for replies in advance

 

I'd part it out, you'll be able to get more of your money back for the mods you have on the car. Plus most people shy away from buying modded cars and in most cases won't pay more for a car with mods on it.

 

hmmmm thanks for the input. all that i can do is re-install the exhaust for now. unfortunately i dont have the stock suspension pieces so if i have to part those out i would need to attain the stock parts 1st. here is an albulm i made of the car today with all the mods still on it....

Part out, put stock back out on the car and then sell the car.

 

best bet is to part out adam like candlestick said.

GL bro

 

Like everyone else has said, part it out. You wont get a dime more for any of the mods.

 

im calling dibs on the springs and camber kits......

 

Umm...what is that? Like $200 in mods? big whoop. Seems like more trouble to remove that stuff than to just leave it and sell it as-is.

It's not like you have a turbo kit or forged wheels.

 

This.


Just take off the exhaust, eyelids, and whatever is easily accessible. Leave the springs on and camber kits, to much of a hassle to take them off.

 

thanks for all your replies so far guys...Teahead you are right i wont mind if i loose the money i spent on the mods since i didnt spend that much. i mean the car also attracts buyers because how nice it looks lowered and with the spacers on, so even if i took off the spacers it will make it look kinda tuck bad :P

i mean if who ever is going to buy the car i can give them the option to leave the mods on or i can take it off at no charge (except for the suspension pieces of-course)

but so what do you guys think of the price?? 20k?? is that about right, ofcourse im willing to haggle...again thanks for all your guys help, greatly appreciated

 

depends if youre selling it or trading it in.

If you can find someone with similar modding taste to yours you could sell it as is. There are also some(very small percentage) dealers that deal with modified cars. But if youre trading it in to an average dealer or selling it to an average person, PART IT OUT

 

$20K for an 05 seems a little steep even with 54,000 miles.

 

Id say part out and listing price closer to 18.5 -19k. Just depends how long you are willing to sit on it...

 

hmmm i think im going to make the exhaust back to stock and leave everything on it...unless you are a G enthusiest you cant tell its lowered and what not (lots of dealers i take it to think its completely stock anyways)...i want to sell it hopefully within the month. so far i have had a lot of interst in it and i havnt listed it anywhere other than my facebook XD

right now i need to re-install the stock exhaust and cats, detail the interior and exterior and screw the engine cover back on (idk y i took it off in the first place) then i will be ready to officially list it.

im thinking of lowering the price a little bit...idk if ill be trading it in (i will if i find the right car and they give me a reasonable price) but i still have to see....
BTW im planning on purchasing an 07 lexus ls460 (but i still have to figure out my fanancial abilities and what not before actually looking for a car)

im storing the car at my dads house for now (so it wont get dirty in the rain and what not) but i will go and make an official listing for it on here also :P

 

Sounds like a good plan, I would definitely remove the tp before trying to sell it and exhaust is easy enough if you are already down there. Springs aren't really worth the effort, plus that would just mean an alignment is needed
