Default WTK: consensus on selling car with mods 2K a4 1.8qtm with 55k..link with pictures

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/16909/p0000345.jpg"></center><p>
Got various mods for it from a GIAC for 5sp stick, front and rear antisway bar neuspeed and Drive train stabilizer and other stuff.
Militek exhaust.

My thinking is I want to take the mods out but I do not have the stock stuff and if I want to sell it, I would have to do it locally or near the area instead of mailing it and stuff.

Has anyone had success selling their car modded and getting the price they want or getting the price they want without mods or ??

Any help would be appreciated.

I am selling because of various factors, mainly they I may be deploying overseas with my unit and I don't want to put it in storage nor loan it to family members or anything else.

It's been a sweet ride but being in the Army has its limits as I hardly drive it.

I'm looking to post it on autotrader and was wishing for maybe 14k obo.
But I got offers for 13 so I will see.

Thanks again

Default best bet is Audi enth. that would appreciate the mods. Also, if the belts were not changed, you

might lower the price considering your B5 is about to hit the magic 60K mark.

Default mods typically don't affect the blue book value

The average buyer is probably not going to care. Assuming the car is in good or excellent condition overall, you could probably bump up the blue book private party value a couple hundred or so, but you're not going to get anything near what you paid for the mods.

Unless you find another Audi-head who's totally into A4s and understands us and our modmadness.. That would rock.

negative - mods affect the price of the car. Why do you think people demod all the time before sell?

Default because they can part out for a %50 return of their initial cost

but would get %10 (if they're lucky) selling the car as a package.

Default Thats right. But a lot of 'normal' people don't care for mods at all

therefore modded car has lower value than a stock one obviously. We sell the mods to make some of the money back spent on them, and then sell the car stock.
