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 |

Ive seen honda preludes with a body kit and carbon trunk going for a riduculus 7-9K around where I live here and these junk aren't even the DOHC types. Its just insane how most young people will go for these cars these days. I guess what you drive is what you are and if you drove a POS. Than your not gonna be popular.
Simply put, most people don't know anything about cars. If they see something expensive, nice looking, POS engine, then there gonna buy it cause it looks KOOL! On my trip to Fresno, Cali this spring. I saw many POS looking cars at every corner with crome wheels on and the paint is like faded / rusted. What is with this new upcoming trend? First it was the weed that made everyone addicted and now Chrome Wheels? |
