The dealer will most likely lower your trade in value because of the mods BUT they will try and sell it for more causer of the mods...sneaky b@stards.

Ps. what color grill.....?

Take them off and put the car back to stock. A modified vehicle gives off the impression that you ran your car hard and you will get less for the vehicle.

If you want to try and get as much money as possible without removing all of your mods then do a little research into used dealerships in Vancouver Canada. I've heard that there are a few places that look to the US to import moded cars that you cant get locally!

Not ideal for you but its worth a shot man, usually the more mods = more money!

Yeah true if your trading in, but there is a market out there that is looking for cars that are already moded .... and they WILL pay good $$$ for it!


If thats not an option go "private sale"... The best way to get the most dollars!

I would probably take the Intake and tails out. You can sell them pretty easily and it shouldn't be that hard.

I bet if you put the stock grill back in they won't even notice it was modded. But it does depend on the dealer, if it is a scion dealer they may see that it is modded.

But my dealer told me to keep all my OEM parts or sell the car to a friend because they would give me less for it if I traded it back in one day.

u ppl should only mod your car if u know your going to keep it for a really long time...if not your just wasting money...

btw they will know if u had aftermarket parts since the seal is broken (the blue paint ect)
