The second addition to the family will be coming in a few months and with me being 6'3 there will be no room behind me for a car seat. Needless to say I will be selling my 2006 G35 6mt sedan. It is diamond graphite and only has 9800 miles. The car is in great condition. The question I have is, I have done some mods to my car and I was wondering if I should part it out or try to sell the car as is? List of Mod's bellow.

19" AME Shallen SX wheels.
Nitto Neogen tires. 245/35(f) - 275/35(r).
Tein basic coilover's.
K&N Filter with Z Tube.
Aluminum Pedal Kit.
California car cover.
All weather floor mats.

 

I'm not familiar with the tires/rims but as far as the rest of the items go, you won't get any money back by leaving them on the car. In fact, you may have a more difficult time selling the car because by trying to sell a lowered, modified car you may be limiting your sales market. You'll be eliminating buyers who want just a regular sedan. People often wonder about modified vehicles and worry that the driver may have treated it rough.

 

if you have the stock parts to put back on you might as well, if you are going to trade your car in, the only thing they will give value to is the rims

 

Hmmm...I'm 6' 2" and I had no issues fitting a large rear facing child seat in the middle of the back seat, which is by far the safest place for a child seat. I would never put a child behind either of the seats and near the side impact and seat airbags. My son is 3 and still sits in the middle.

Most anything else on the market will be very tight if you expect to put a child seat behind your seat. I really can't think of any car on the road that would have that sort of room for a rear facing child seat and a 6' 3" driver.

 

^^^ uhm wrong thread?

 

Just seems a bit silly to sell a large midsize car in order to fit a child seat behind a tall driver Sounds very expensive.

 

put it back to stock. it will open up the market to a lot more people that would be interested in it.

 

I don't see you having any issues selling your car "as is".Your mods are "minor" compared to some.But if you part it out I would be interested in the pedals.It's a sedan to confirm right?

 

I myself wouldn't consider a car with a lot of the modifications people do. I don't like the real large wheels some people do, let alone those wheels that stick out the side of the car.

 

Thanks for the feedback everyone. AgentAero04,yes it's a sedan. I guess daveb didnt understand that i'm having a second child. DaveB then sais,
"A LARGE MIDSIZE SEDAN", wtf!. I think i'll put it back to stock this week and hopefully get it sold by the end of the month.

 

dude b4 u sell, post up pics! when did u get your wheels?

 

I got them about 9 months ago from d2 autosport. They are +35 in front and +43 in the rear.

 

I would like to see the pictures too and what are you considering to replace the G35?... Good luck with the sell.

 

This may sound ridiculous but i'm looking at either the 08 Toyota 4runner sport edition or an 07 srt8 charger.

 

Oh, you just pawned yourself.....you don't NEED to sell your G, you just want the srt8
