Title: Modded or Standard - Selling Advice
Post by: berttie21 on February 06, 2011, 09:19:31 pm

Evening All,

I have a 58 Plate Pirelli Edition GTI (Registered Sept 08)

33K Miles
5 Door
DSG
Sat Nav / Hard Drive / Bluetooth
Luxury Pack
Fully serviced etc.....

However I have put a full Miltek TBE and the VAG Bremo 4 Pots ( They were designed for the same reg Seat and are OEM)

I looking to sell or PTX but not sure if the Exhaust and Brakes will be an advantage or disadvantage?

I have the original parts still ( Only 10K of Use) just seems a waste to put it back to a reduced spec?

Any comments welcome?

Cheers

The best way is to refit the original bits and recoup some dosh on the parts. You certainly wont be able to get more ofr the car with the bits added even though the are great mods. In general people are put off by modified cars.  :happy2:

Thanks Topcat,

I thought that would be the case,I guess the general perception is modded = thrashed. I will have it put back in the garage when ready and shift the parts.

You could probably sell it, and the purchaser, would not even notice the mods, but you would then be losing some money. What colour is you pirelli.  :happy2:
