Question Sell car with or without mods?

I'm selling my Mustang, and I need some opinions. Is it better to sell the car with the mods, and try to get a higher price? Or, is it better to sell the car with the mods removed, and sell them separately? What say you?

You will never recoup what you put into the car selling it with the mods. I would take them off.

Agreed...alot of times the dealer will actually offer less for a modified car. As modifications are suited to individual tastes. Most dealers prefer a stock vehicle.

You most def made the right decision. All that can be taken off (in reason), I would advise you to do it. Sell it on ebay or craiglist, make your money back. GL!

Yup, unless you sell it privately to someone who knows the mods, I'd remove them and sell both separately. A little more work but more muulah in the long run.

I agree with everybody else,you'll lose much less money selling the parts separate and selling the car stock!
