Just wondering...Do people generally sell their no longer used stock parts? Is there a demand for these items? Or, is it better to hold on to them, even if you plan on keeping your car for the long haul? What are your thoughts?

I keep all of my stock parts just in case.
Who knows if you need to pass an inspection or something like that. It's always good to be able to get back to stock if you have to.

im keeping my stock parts. like my grill, tc emblem, stock wheels (good for winter) dome light bulbs. you never know when you might need them again. but i do know lots of people who sell them anyway. i prefer to keep them as a back up. but if i am hard up for some cash i might sell some of them.

I personally have kept my stock intake, and the original shifter assembly. I would have kept my stock exhaust too, except that it was replaced because it got crushed (piece of cinderblock flew off of truck, under my box, and smacked muffler).
I was under the impression that the car might get more money at a dealer or something later, if it could be stockified. Not sure why I thought this, but I've kept the parts anyways.

You could sell them, people do buy them.

I keep all of mine. If one of my new parts breaks or gets damaged I'm straight. Or, if need be, my car can be completely stock in an hour. (minus the shaved wiper :P )

-THE DON

I'm keeping all of mine, for warranty reasons

good to keep them b/c the box is worth more stock than customized at the dealership.

and the dealer will generally void your warranty on anything swapped out

Not for the most part:

I keep my stock parts in the garage just to irratate my wife..........

I've been keeping all of mine, too. I guess it's just in case I keep it long enough to tire of the mods, or if I ever want to return to stock form for car shows in 30 years when its a major-league collector car!

Yeah see you there--I will be 85 and you will still be only 79.............

i always keep stock parts, never know... after market parts may break, you may be able to fab somfin out of the old parts, someone you know may need them... ect. as far as the warrenty goes. if you replace your intake, obviously your intake is no longer covered. but say you replace your intake and your motor blows, they have to prove that the intake caused your motor to blow on order to void your warranty ;), verdict, keep your parts.

yea, if I put an intake on my car and the motor blows, I'm putting the stock back in before I get it hauled up there

i kept the important parts.....

anything that had to deal with the vitals of the car

but the radio, steelies, springs, stuff like that... gone

Just wondering...Do people generally sell their no longer used stock parts? Is there a demand for these items? Or, is it better to hold on to them, even if you plan on keeping your car for the long haul? What are your thoughts?I think everyone who mods their xB should SELL their stock parts so that they won't be able to return their xB to stock. That way, MY unmodded xB will be more rare and therefore more VALUABLE!

OK, that doesn't really matter anyway, 'cause I'm not planning to sell it until it's totally worn out. (Whenever I've modded a motorcycle I've just gotten rid of the stock parts (Ebay is my friend) 'cause I'd rather have the space than the parts ;^)

I kept most of my stock parts.When I traded my BSP in on my RS 4.0 I was able to keep all my mods and move them to the new one! :wink:

I started with a Scion shelf now I have a Scion cabinet, what's next a Scion garage! I keep it!

I keep all of mine too, and good thing since i need to sell my car now. =[

keep it all

why?

why?
Well if you go to sell your car you won't get much for the mods.
Bring it back to stock and sell you aftermarket parts, atleast you will get something.

no why is he selling?
