Return to stock or sell as is?
I am trying to decide whether or not I should return my car to stock or leave it as is to sell it...
The Basics: 2010 M6 Touring with Sport, Navigation, Bose and all options <53k miles (will stay there for the winter). I think either way I should remove all the plastidip on the car (wheels, door handles) Mods: AEM intakes Z1 Performance PVC and Crank Pressure Hoses ZSpeed powdercoated Under tray/air dam 20/25mm wheel spacers AAM short tail exhaust It also has drilled/slotted rotors I could put the stock rotors back on, not sure that would make any difference. Same with the RedTop Optima battery, I could replace that with a stock battery, not sure that would have any affect on the sale either way really. It would take me a full day of working on the car to do this and I could only get like $500-$600 out of selling the parts. My big question is if you all think the car is worth more with or without the few mods it has. I know this is pretty debatable as some people see a completely stock vehicle as more desirable and others would be happy to save on having to buy those mods. Obviously, there is no set answer, just looking for some insight. Expert Opinions!!! Go!! Last edited by Venom13132; 01-20-2016 at 08:08 AM. |

Based on the mods listed I'd swap the intakes and the exhaust back to stock. Everything else leave on it.
When I traded in my Z I made the 1250 dollar investment to put nearly all the stock parts back on and netted out pretty well in the end. Kicker is that the dealer saw the car before and after all the mods were off and gave me the same trade value.

carmax, in the past for me at least, gave me the full 'if stock' price when i gave them the stock parts loose in the trunk.
so if it's too much of a hassle just sell it partially stock and give them the stock parts i guess. |

If you selling private ....it will depend on if the buyer is planning on modding the car ...if they are then you can squeak more from them or use it as a selling pitch ..but if you are selling to some one not interested in modding they might look at mods as a negative ...IMHO .....To remove after market parts before selling only apply to trading to a dealer or unless you will have use of the parts on your next car. Most private buyers looking for a Z car are looking for that car for a reason.

IMO take it back to as stock as possible and sell the aftermarket or just be willing to sell it as is at the stock selling price. Selling it stock opens your market to a wider audience. |

In my experience if you trade it in on something like a factory ordered sti, " i did this " the dealer will give you what you ask for it within reason because they wanna move new cars. Or private party it with mods for a price you like

Agree. Return to stock and sell the parts separately. You'll be money ahead. You'll get back some ROI plus give the potential buyer the idea that it's probably been pampered and driven moderately (whether that's true or not, heh heh)

Return to stock. When I was selling mine I had a lot of interest until they heard the **** sounding exhaust I had on it.
