Sports car owners are sometimes very finicky so if they know had been modded out usually they want to pay less for the "abuse" on the car , not saying you abused it any worse than a normal owner. Unless your posting serious power and good times then you might find a hobbyist looking to pay for the numbers.

I'd say you'll be lucky to catch 26k for it. I would say its better to un mod and do a parts sale to recoup losses. It's what I did with my old evo. But its worth a try to sell if you've got the time.

I seen kbb private party is 23k
nada says $25,700
I have about 8k in upgrades.
so 30k is feesable?


Not trying to be a dick, but you might as well have set fire to $8000 instead of putting it in a car if you were expecting to recoup even 15% of it on resale. For the most part buyers don't really care about your mods, and they can even be a hindrance. You would be far better off selling the mods and returning the car to stock for sale.

I agree somewhat.
I didn't plan on the 2015 to look so good to me either.
I generally build my cars to suite me , not anyone else.
I do get a lot of compliments every time I drive it. so im just seeing what someone is willing to give. if it don't look good. ill just keep it. and pick up a used 15 in about 4 years.lol

thats a fact, you would be much better off returning the car to stock and selling it and selling the parts you pull off of it

Your ad needs a lot of work. Not only in grammer, but tone as well.

Reads like a teenager talking to another teenager instead of a Car For Sale Ad.

Serious buyers will avoid this car. Dumbass kids will flock to you.

Oh yeah, I would expect to pay no more than 20k for such a car privately.

Mods bring the car value down, you would have better luck returning back to stock and just trading the car in on a 2015.

Mods don't add any value unless you find someone willing to pay for them, that's hard to do though. Take 4-5 grand off if you are gonna trade it in. Always de-mod before you sell or you are just wasting the money. I see it all the time as a car salesman, people trade in modded cars and expect to get extra for the mods and they get less because of them. Like I said you'd be lucky to get 23, don't expect anywhere near 30 since someone could buy a brand new one for less with rebates and discounts.
