hahaha you guys are dumb...check it:

Hypethetical Civic coupe say 96 EX

stock car: casette, 14 steelies /w caps, no tint, low quality sound, trade-in value at 65k is $5.5K

add: CD, high quality speakers, 16" rims, tint, new trade-in value is $6.5K


you built value by upgrading your car... its done everyday

(retail would be $9.3K stock, $10.5K aftermarket)

 

me dumb.. your the dumbass that thinks adding shiit to a car is gonna increase its resale on the market..and your bullfawkingshiit trade in values is all bullshiit...:slap: stop being a NooB

 

aftermarket DE-values the car. ...unless you find somebody to believe it actually makes the vaule go up.

 

:werd:

 

:werd:

you don't get jack extra in the price. I'd say you may get about 10-20% extra for most of the parts you add. if your lucky. swaps may add to the price, but then again I don't know how its been driven on. In most cases if the cars got performance mods you might as well assume the cars been ragged.

your talking about blue booking with extra stock mods...blue book is sheet any way.


EDIT

my bad random I got so caught up in the heat of the battle I forgot to respond to you. I agree $1500 sounds like a lot unless shes a low milage jewel. get a rex. you know there no way you're gonna drive honda and not mod it.

 

i de-evaluate cars all day long.... aftermaket cd players, premium wheels, keyless, alarm whatever, even perma-plate adds value...
ya'll are the noobs

 

dealers use NADA to buy and kelly to sell.. because nada is lower than kelly... either way i am right and ya'll are wrong.. so give it up

 

you evaluate the value of cars all day long huh...well time for another job buddy..cuz you are wrong as hell. id rather spend 4gs on a stock civic than 4gs on a civic that has shiit on it that im gonna be taking off in the first place.

 

no i dont evaluate, i deevaluate.... there a difference

and good thats you, thats not 300 million other americans, most of the people i talk to want aftermarket item such as a lift, nerf bars, cd players, and stuff of that nature to already be on the car... i build value with that and sell it at a higher price...

 

yeah you try and rip off as many people as possible to make a greater profit margin.
