Selling my car. Question on what's best to do.

I've decided to sell my E55, but I have a question for the crew.

I already took off the Eurocharged pulley and sold it. I've still got headers, the ECU tune, filters and the secondary/resonators cut out. Mind you I have all the stock parts.

Would it be in my better interest to sell the car with the parts as is, or should I put it back to stock to try and garner a wider array of possible buyers? I'd like to see what everyone here thinks as it may very well influence my decision. Frankly, I don't know either way.

Sell as is (modified) and throw the stock parts in on the sale. Most people buying these cars today are buying to modify not cruise around stock. Those that want a stock benz will buy one brand new with warranty for 10x the price of a 10year old E55

Sell as is, unless you are doing the labor yourself or get a good deal on labor.

Heh, you wouldn't like the price I'd charge you for the headers. :p

I figured the labor would be a pain. I'll put her up as is. The ad's actually in the Classifieds now. Hopefully it sells reasonably quick.
