People Dont Grasp This Concept!, Mods lower value of the car Options

[kman2010]

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 bought my car with the idea that I would have it forever (as long as it runs) I modded it with the same intent, and in the event that I must sell it to buy a new EVO 8 I'm under the understanding that I will not get the money out of it that went in.

I think that people can get away with charging high prices for simple mods because most people who want to buy a pre-modded car dont understand most of the mods past what they look like, (its the same with buying a new computer, its so much cheaper to make one with just buying the parts but people dont know how easy it is to do the modding.
