    Default is my car worth more now ?

    guys is my car worth more now with my supercharger? even though it has some things that need fixing on the setup its bassically complete, has it added any value to the car?

    or has it reduced the value ?

    im thinking of selling ( this is like the 500th ive thought of selling ), cause im kinda gettin sick of stuffing around with the commy, and i really cant be stuffed putting it back to its stock state lol.

    Depends who you try to sell it to. Young people who want to go fast will probably pay a little extra for it. Old people who know SFA about cars probably wouldn't know what to pay and old people who do know about cars will probably pay a little less because they might be concerned that it's been 'abused'.

    Still...what that list of mods, I'd be inclined to say that it's worth a little more than it used to be, not heaps, but a bit.

    You'll never get your money's worth from mods. Ever. I spent about $5000 on modifying my old Mazda, and was still only able to sell it for the same price as stock models around the same mileage. Then again, I did rip out my sound system and replace it with the stock one. Yougner people will generally be willing to part with a bit more money for a car with a bit of boom.

    With that list of mods, you could probably add $4000 to the retail price of your car Unless it's gone over 300,000km. Have a read-around and see what other modified $2-3000 cars are selling for.
