Sell stock or flush?

[Celli]

After a long debate with myself, I've decided rid myself of my Celica. So, with the large aftermarket community here I figured this would be a great place to ask.

Would my car sell more with the xxr and lowered?



Or would I get more by returning my car to stock and selling the aftermarket parts seperate? Those parts only being the wheels and suspension.

With an already low demand for celicas, I would return it to stock to expand your market.

[Celli]

Should I keep the coils on it but with a moderate drop? Or go back stock on those too?

[Stupid Kid]

Go stock everything and sell your aftermarket parts.

Virtually every car is worth more stock than modified unfortunately .

like the guy above said, you would be able to sell the car much quicker and easier if its all bone stock... if the car is stock anyone would buy it, once people see mods on cars your average joe who just needs a car for transportation will shy away from it.

plus you can sell the coils/wheels/other parts on ebay or CL, people are always looking to buy parts.

[Celli]

Thanks for the insight guys. I think I'm still going to do some paint touch up and shave the Wing off. From personal experience, people prefer it without a wing.


So while repainting the trunk, should I put the symbols BACK on? Or leve them off? Or does it matter?

I'm looking at a 2006 BMW 325i sedan. Silver. Anyone have any insight on the car? Around here I can pick up a solid one for 10-12k. So, any other suggestions in said price range are welcome

post it up as is first save yourself the work, if you dont get a buyer then return to stock.

See I thought about that. But I won't e able to sell til like January. So I could risk 8 months of possible parts damage. Or I could sell them now while still new and sell stock. If I wasn't in the situation I'm in, I'd do exactly what you said.

Here it goes again. Enlighten me Oxer, what did I do this time?

Nothing out of the ordinary.

This is the best idea you've ever had.

You can't even afford to put quality aftermarket parts on a Toyota. Maintaining a stock BMW is going to murder you.

uhm no.

you slap a supercharger on a mustang, its worth more.
you put a drop and some wheels on a bimmer, its worth more
exhaust and lift and wheels for a truck, worth more

tasteful mods add to value, shit even dealerships do this, adding aftermarket remote starts, overhead/headrest entertainment, Sirius/XM, adding a Nav to a car without one..or lets say the performance add ons, lexus has their Fsport stuff, you can add an intake to any is/gs car, better suspension, even body mods

I can go on.


now Nigerian engineering some BS sound system, half assing a motor swap, blacking out all your lights with plastidip.....this kind of whack crap is the NO NO DOOKIE list.

All the things you listed have nothing to do with this celica, your last lines do
