Well not to scare any of you i'm not selling my car but I am wondering when selling a car do you acount for mods in the final price that you sell the vehicle for?

no most of the time mods hurt the value of the car they dont bring up price like you would think, thats why most people demod when selling a car

Yep I concur with 4drgt. Most people who are looking to buy it will see the mods and think "beat up". Cause face it most go fast mods/appearance mods that look "fast" like the hood implies to most people that the car has seen track time/race enviroment and beat on pretty good. Where as a "clean" stocker gives the impression that the car has been well taken care of. Not saying you beat on your car but mods of the sort do imply otherwise. Now if your selling to an enthusiest who's looking to mod it would be a selling point but the chances of that happening are slim. Not impossible but you'll open yourself to a wider range of potential buyers with it demodded.

The same thing goes with MCs. Just cause one person likes the changes doesn't mean everyone will.

It doesnt help your value. Unless someone is looking for a modded car already. You usually make more money when you demod and then sell the car.
