Selling a modded car......

I have modified my 2006 E55 with Kleeman headers, Kleeman pulley, LET tune and star lowering. How does this affect the ability to sell the car? Are most scared away by mods?

Take the mods off, sell them separately, then sell the car stock.

That's the way to get the most money back. You're still going to eat a loss no matter what.

if you go to trade it in, they really dont care about the mods. if anything it will reduce the amount of your trade in.

It scared me off before I bought mine. Saw a few with Kleeman mods and pulleys and such. I even walked away from one that had the star taken off the hood. I wanted bone stock. I think it just says to most people that since it's been modded it's been run harder, even if it's not the case.

Take the mods off. The car is worth more stock anyday.
