how many miles? alot of times performance parts (aftermarket) will actually downgrade the cost of your vehicle. produces alot of extra wear and tear on the power plant.

Aftermarket parts will NOT add to the value of the car unless you find someone who they mean something to.

I would part out the aftermarket shit and sell seperately than the car itself.

From my experience you won't get much for your aftermarket parts if you sell them with the car as a package... best of selling off aftermarket parts separate if possible... just my

11k and a blower, that car has been ridden hard and put away wet. 5-6k if your lucky.

Always keep the OEM parts, then put them back on before you sell. You'll get more for the car, plus you can seel the aftermarket stuff on eBay or in the classifieds for more.

I went through the same thing many years ago with my 1994 Z28. I bought it when it first came out, added a bunch of crap to it, then when I went to trade it in, the value was "low" because of the aftermarket stuff. I went home, took everything off that I still had OEM for, then took the car back and got a couple thou$and more in trade.

Illicit · 08-21-2004, 03:02 PM

strip the aftermarket stuff off and sell it seperately. no one will give you that much unless thats their dream car

FlyingIguana · 08-21-2004, 04:02 PM

Vitasoy · 08-21-2004, 05:01 PM
