Hey crew,
I'm looking at heading down the modification route with my VF2 SSV Ute. At this stage, I'm considering upgrading the roller rockers, CAI, exhaust in some capacity, and a engine & trans tune. And if I do, I pretty much void 6.5yrs of factory warranty - for whatever that might be worth. But I'm contemplating how far is too far when the inevitable happens and it's time to move it on.
I know there's quite a mix here with aftermarket ECU tunes, partial and full exhaust systems, cams and superchargers etc. But I'm keen to hear your thoughts about resale on the VF commodore, particularly the V8s and modifications to them. I'm not concerned about getting money back for performance enhancements done, I'm just curious if you think any sort of performance enhancing mods devalues the vehicle or, as a buyer, make you question the manor in which the vehicle was driven and thus it's long term relability.
Also, at what point along the modification process would you no longer consider purchasing a vehicle 2nd hand?
