Hey I sell used cars, and let me tell you, adding a spoiler always increases the value..example, we buy an ordinary accord through one of the dealer only auto auctions, slap a spoiler on, run it back through. Always brings a bit more money, and only because it had a spoiler. Normally people always want spoilers, therefore adding a demand, and therefore adding value.
my point is on private sale or on trade in it does not add value. you are not going to give me an extra $100 cause i have the oem wing not. the wing helps sell the car and can get used car dealers more money from stupid people, but it doesn't add any real value to the car for the owner. in an nada book is does not say spoiler or not spoiler. it works the sameway with an aftermarket HU. your not going to give me any more or any less $$, whether i have a stock HU or aftermarket CD HU on a trade in. now when you go and sell the car a used car dealer will use it as a selling point to try to squeeze more money just like with a spoiler.
this is why i don't call it adding value, i call it a selling point.
