Default what do you do with mods when...
Let's say I put an exhaust, coilovers, and a chip on my '06. What would I do with them when I bring my car to a dealer to trade in for a new car.

Does a dealer want a car with them? Seems like an Audi dealer, esp., might not.

Would you try to restore to OE before the trade, and sell aftermarket parts?

Default They can, and often do take them out of the value of the car...
or you just lose your money on the mods and they don't care. Depends on the dealer.

Default And spend a good month making it go back to stock since you got so many mods...
I am NOT looking forward to removing all my mods...at end of lease. Ugh.
