Add leather to base model to increase resale?
 

Do you guys think adding leather to a base would increase its resale value? I have a local shop that can install leather for $699. It seems like a good deal and personally I would prefer the leather if I was shopping for a Z again.

There are lots of variables, but my feeling is it's not going to increase the value of the car by $700 :twocents:

Aftermarket mods typically don't add any value to a car. It depends on the buyer. When it comes time to sell the leather seats might be of value to a buyer, but definitely not $699 worth.

depends on the buyer when you're selling the car. i personally hate leather and after my acura would never want leather seats again. so if it was me i wouldn't buy your car.

:iagree::iagree: Around $500 if your lucky.

Thanks guys. I will just leave it as it is then and let the next owner put leather in if that is there preference.

Nothing.

:iagree:

unless you do private sale, probably wont make much of a difference.

:rofl2:

noone asked you njobe! :mad:

I think it will on a trade in. They'll be too dumb to know its not actually touring

You never really get back what you put in. Just keep the car!

I figured a trade in they would be at least smart enough to run the VIN and see the model & options, but maybe not.

hey i could be a potential buyer of the car :icon14:

That's the least reliable way of seeing what packages a car came with

I figured with the VIN you could pull up the cars history and build information, which would include add ons or options.
