Default What to do next? stuckkkkk

Just looking for input. I'm going to be selling her soon, but should i keep it the way it is or any other subtle upgrades to help get rid of it easier?

all input is appreciated.

Well I think its pretty well done. You might want to do a part out tho. Youll probably get more money for the stuff. Most of the time stock sells faster than modded. But its pretty clean tho. I like it

Yeah, I agree. When looking for a car, I look for a stock one.

Get rid of all the aftermarket stuff and return stock. A stock car will sell a lot easier and you won't get too screwed on parts.

If you're getting rid of it definitely don't upgrade it prior, it's a car not a house. If you got the stock parts then return it to stock if you don't then you might be better just leaving the aftermarket parts on there. There is no reason to buy a $500 hood to get no increase in price on the car and part out the aftermarket hood for $300 (just an example, not real numbers)

Yes if you're looking to sell it "quick" then return it to stock. Car's sell much faster in stock form. You may not get what you think it is worth but in all honesty you won't get much more than blue book for a car that is modded anyway.

So in short do not do any more to it because it won't add value or make it sell faster.

Think of it this way.

Take all the people looking for new cars. Subtract all the ones looking for reliable cars, Subtract most if not all the parents looking for cars for their kids, now subtract all the older people looking for commuter cars, then subract all the modders that look for cars that they know aren't headaches and like to start from scratch and build it themselves.

You are now left to the very limited crowd that like modded cars and are willing to take someone elses build to try to make it their own. MUCH smaller group looking for cars so it will usually take longer unless you are asking such a great price that people jump on it.

If you are going to sell it don't put any more money into it. Just keep it as clean as possible, I mean everything inside and out and the engine bay too. That will help it sell for the best price.

Another vote for stock sells faster. But it would most likely be a huge pain to "undo" your whole car. I say definitely don't put any more money into it and sell as is.

in my opinion, return to stock. when am looking for a car to buy i always look for stock cars because it scares me when i see a car all hookd up because it feel like they mightve been trying to modded to much and mess something up. Good luck with the sale
