Guys who recently sold heavily modified cars

Stage 2, stage 3 modified E55's that folks have recently gotten rid of-interested in what you ended up getting for them. Feel free to comment, or send me a PM.

I'd say a good rule of thumb is try to get blue book for it. You'll be lucky to get anything extra for being a modded car.

This place is a joke.
Generally speaking, a stock, original, lower mileage car brings the most money. There's been a few postings about this in these forums. Money spent on mods does not always add value to the car.

My car had some mods when I bought it, I also paid over blue book for it That may have been the white with pano roof at work though that carries a higher premium

It is all dependent on the buyer and how much they want it.

Add $$ spent on mods and usually get half back if lucky. You didn't have the car that long but hot looking wagon! Maybe mid to high $20k

Mods add some value if they're the right mods to the right buyer. The car is worth less to someone who likes a bone stock car, but who cares since they're not your target market in this
situation.

when I sold my M3 I had a fair amount of parts on it... I sold it for top retail money and took off and sold whatever parts I could to get it into the buyer's budget

No , clean title on the GTO. Had all the mods I wanted to do to my 2005 GTO. Sold my 05 for the same amount I paid for the new one with 13K in mods already on it and tuned
