I just dont understand why people are asking for ridiculous amounts of money for cars with minor mods. I mean i understand if you got a show car and your asking for 15,000 of the 25,000 you put into it back. but if you have a basically stock celica with intake, and some crappy paint on the interior. maybe exhaust and a wing. that should lessen the value of the car shouldnt it? so why ask for all the money back from it. its just me whining because i have a totalled car, and its gonna cost me alot to get my baby back together, or just buy a done one.
anyone agree or disagree? open topic, speak amongst ya selves |

i agree that mods lower the values of cars, but some mods help.
mods such as headlights, tail-lights, sideskirts, or simple OEM/JDM additions should raise the value. Same w/ GT5 conversions. the main thing that i've noticed to really help/hurt the price of a car is it's mileage and exterior condition. it's sad that my celica has lost over 50% of its value from when i bought it a couple years ago. --------------------  |
