somebody once told me that adding mods to a vehicle always devalues the price [0.o] ........... so much for that crap huh? but 64 grand for it. i would keep it if i was given it, but paying 64,000 dollars for a car that without the mods msrp is $18,000 um no, no fricken way is what they put in it worth that price. not for a dealership used value. if the parts are brand new and only used for test drives then maybe. but not pre-used.

Mods typically do devalue a car - however; value is determined by what someone is willing to pay for it.

Did you miss the part about where its 600 HP gets sideways when it hits boost, is AWD five inches wider then a stock beetle... is a beetle. Was a shop car, a cover feature for Euro Tuner Mag. and did I mention we have a GSXR 1100 and Ducatti 999R and a CBR 1000 and this car is still quicker and faster then those bikes. Hmmm... But to answer your question 9 out of 10 times a mod will do nothing but lower the value of the car. Why? because it is a liability, the cars history has been tainted and is believed to driven harder. whats the difference between two $18,000 50,000 mile EVOs at my dealership? One has 423 AWHP the other is stock. Value is in the eye of the beholder and when when $100,000+ is put into a car the value, guess what, goes up because guess what, the owner, has a price they are willing to sell at. Is he making money... uhh no. But he did have a good time whooping Z06's all day long in his Beetle.

um what country are you from? if you say U.S.A. please, please, please. go pick up a grammar book and study up on sentence structuring. if your going to ask a question how about putting a question mark in there huh? also if your going to tell someone in a eclipse threaded forum what kind of car you have, you normally don't need to tell them what kind of engine you have. we already know! and a smiley face online doesn't normally count as ending a sentence unless it is at the last part of the entire e-mail/paragraph. and Chrystel? isn't that, like that really expensive champagne? lol i'm just playing about that last part. "Chrysler" thats just funny yo!!!
