Selling a modded car is tough and you only get around 30% back on your mods not including labour. So if you have Sasha's kit ($7000) plus lowering springs ($250), you'll only get around $2500 back when you sell your car. Right now the average car is listed for $28000 and will probably sell for $26000; add your 2500 and you have a 28500 car. It sucks I know. I've been modding cars probably a lot longer than most of you and I always take a bath.

That's just the reality.

Like you I'm no spring chicken. I've been building/modding cars longer than most of these guys have been able to walk. I usually don't brag about it.

Lets just say I bought my car at the right time. It was basically new with 6000 miles. I could turn my car back to stock right now and make money on it. And that's after 2 years of ownership.

My point was, anything is for sale. Whether or not someone is willing to pay the price is a different story.

Lastly, You should look at the going rate for used forced induction kits. I believe the BP turbo kit would fetch a lot more than $2500 used. I'm sure other would agree.

Anyhow, good luck with your search. You'll find what you're looking for just like I did.

Let us know how you make out.
