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

you cant compare a modified supra to a modified celica. Its apples and oranges, there isnt an extremely high demand for celicasin the first place; or  is there?

If the 6th gen celica was featured in a car movie like the supra was in F&F then I believe more people would want to buy the celica causing our re-sell value to go up. Ask any supra owner, after the movie the price of supras went up whether stock or modded.

I know that if you go to trade in a modded vehichle to a dealer you're gonna get squat back, but if you sell it yourself I believe it's all about haggling the price, and whatever the buyer is willing to pay.
