Title: Gt sport 170 with high spec…split or not?
Post by: gtlee on February 19, 2014, 10:03:56 pm: Hi not sure if this the correct section to ask (mods move to appropriate section) but I like to ask if you remove the retrofitted parts or sell the car with all the extra kit?

Post by: doylebros on February 19, 2014, 10:17:10 pm: Depends who your selling too

Part ex - split

Private buyer - leave and see if it's helps your sale

Would be my approach.

I saw your advert and I must admit it was no surprise that it went quick as you've looked after it.

Post by: prp74 on February 20, 2014, 05:09:16 pm: Try and sell it as it is. Sounds like an impressive spec. If no luck, then strip down as you will get your money back on the parts. GLWS :happy2:

Post by: J400uk on March 04, 2014, 09:03:49 am: Split stuff that is easily removed and will sell for more than it adds to the cars value. If part-exing remove everything!
