Question WHATS THE BEST WAY TO SELL A MODDED C230 OR c-class IN GENERAL ????

Hi I am planning to sell my 05 C230 Sports Sedan pretty soon. I like modding my cars up. Probaly put like 4K-10K in the cars. I do understand when you mod a car its hard to sell. I like my Mercedes Benz, and enjoy being with my car. But because of the problems, and going back and forth to the Service Department every month or two, I am ready to sell. So my question is whats the easiest and most effective way to sell a car thats modded ? My car is not heavily modded, just S-Class Tails, Bi-Xenons, Rims, Exhaust, and Suspension. Besides Autotrader, Car.com, what are my selling options of getting it close to retail ? Would selling on Ebay be a good option ? What are the pros and cons ? Please give me your imput, tips, and info on the best way to sell and get rid of your car. Thanks

i think it would be better to sell the parts and the car alone.

Well Dont have anytime to take off parts and uninstall cost to get them off. Its just easier to sell everything with the car thats already on it. We spend lots of money on mods, and we have a hard time recouping that money back.

My last car was heavily modded (Dodge Avenger….don’t laugh!) They best way I found to sell it was to put adds in local papers, and on the internet. Try to find someone who is into mods…. It pain to deal with people wanting to drive it and bs like that, but in the end you will be able to get more cash for it. .
