    Want the best resale value? Take off your mods. Replace with stock parts. Sell car as “clean”. Sell mods later.
    Theres a guy selling a lambo door, full carbon body panel supercharged SCION TC for 40k near me and it’s laughable. Dude won’t even get 10k for it 😂

      I remember some years ago a local car dealership near me had a pimp-my-ride looking Peugeot 206 like full body kit, inch off the ground, lambo doors, stage 2-ish tune, pearl paint, the works. The paint and the fiberglass were starting to show cracks, clearly a relic of the Fast & the Furious years. Because it was a legit dealership I figured it might be a fun beater for cheap, so I stopped to ask. €20k. My brother in Christ, twenty WHAT NOW?!

      Someone is selling a ''time attack'' prepped s13 in my country and he was asking 50 but dropped to 42k in a day, thing has never seen the road after completion yada yada.
      I get it building a car cost money but people need to realize that the future owner doesn't care how you have personalized it and only cares about maintenence etc, people need to stop thinking they are the main character

I have yet to see anyone that modded a car, returned it to stock, then fessed up that it was modded previously. Considering a lot of people out there abuse their modded car, are relaxed on maintenance, then discard it like it was a fun one night stand leaves the buyer ignorant to the potential ticking time bomb. Not saying this is always the case, but it happens quite a bit.

    The inverse of the tire thing is true too though, put new tires with good tread on your car and that's a selling point! Non car people will appreciate the convenience of not needing to get new tires, so you can add the cost of tires to your asking price and sell the car quicker. Bonus points if the car also comes with a full set of winter tires on steelies in addition to the new regular tires.

    One thing about engine bay lights - clean, white, switched lights can be a lifesaver if you ever need to open the hood at night. My dad put some in his truck, and even though they don’t get used often, they sure can be handy when we need them.

      I want to do that so bad now, but my car is so reliable that I'm never spending significant time under the hood. And the most likely thing I'd need extra light for is replacing a battery, so they wouldn't be working then anyhow. I think a better idea personally is to have some stiff but flexible covered wire so you can quickly rig a phone into a light source where you need it. That way the lights don't interact with the vehicle in any way, and are always charged (you do keep it charged while in your car, right? xD)
      (I actually keep multiple phones on me usually, so even if I had a dead phone, I still got lights.)

    As someone who has friends and family members that work in the car insurance industry, nearly ALL aftermarket mods depreciate your car's resale value. If you actually want to maximize resale value, you either put the stock parts back on or replace them with OEM parts or upgraded OEM parts. The amount of stories my friends tell me of customers trying to file insurance claims and getting angry after finding out that their mods don't increase the value of the car is endless.

Especially if the car has been driven up to the listing date for sale. I'm not annoyed if the tires are a bit worn or even if they are over half of the usable thread. It infuriates me when the tires are clearly so worn out that it gets dangerous to drive the car and the seller tries to gaslight the buyer saying not to worry or expecting not to enter negotiation with tires as a cause for a lower price.

But more or less, any mods you do hardly increase the value of the car

    I usually replace the OEM exhaust with a stainless one, when asked I have it tuned to "dead quiet". Nobody wants to hear a boring 1.3l 4cyl econobox. Never removed it from the car when I traded it in as a non-obnoxious stainless exhaust is not a bad thing, it saves the next owner maintenance. So suppose it's a 750 euro exhaust, when I get the offer on trade in, I'll try and get an extra 250 or so for it.
    Realistically it's some sort of value add, both for the new owner and the used car dealer. So yeah it's often not hard to get a handful of tenners for it.

    Replaced it with more tame, matte black RS watanabe inspired, quality reps.
    Weren't too expensive, probably devalue to put on what it had originally. Mismatch was both different style and colour.

    You can do mods well, but the problem is that not everyone has that artist's eye. It's kind of like the days of MySpace. If you let people completely customize something, most of them will just make it ugly.
    Also, lets face it, a lot of modders go cheap. They buy the cheapest part, usually from a sketchy place. Or they do mods the "cheap" way (think just cutting your springs instead of new coil overs). If the mods are actually good then they can raise the value of your car. You'll never make back what you put in though, that's just the life... Take this as a vote for a "good" mods to do to a car video.

    Lots of weird statements made in this video that aren't necessarily true, but the tuning bit was really confusing. Out of all the mods you can do to a car that don't appeal to masses a shelf tune is low on the list, shelf tunes are easy to revert, even if you buy a shelf tuned car, replacing the shelf tune won't cost extra so who cares. As far as Dyno tuned cars, nobody is selling a dyno tuned car as a reliable daily to non-car people anyways.
    The fastest way to devalue resell on your car is by cutting the springs/slamming it, going on a shopping spree at pepboys/autozone, and using spray paint/plastidip on random parts of your car. Honorable mention to amazon ground-fx kits and people who tape christmas lights to their car.

I'm a mountain biker, it's a neish that runs FAR deeper than it seems in case you're not aware. I have owned what i'd describe as the dream bike for almost 4 years now; it has the colours i want, i think it looks awesome, the geometry feels good when riding, i managed to get the bars i wanted, i swapped the forks for coil ones and the shock for a SUPER high end one from Fox, found a set of brakes that feel awesome, AND to top it off i've managed to get a tune that feels great for me, it still needs tweaking but to be fair, it always does. It's not as especial as it once was, i see very clearly the problems within the outdated frame geometry and archetype, as downhill bikes climb as good as rocks fly and i don't bring the bike to the trail in a car like most do. The best part is that i never knew the bike was going to be mine until the very day i saw it, about a minute after actually looking at it for the first time; i was buyng parts to re-purpose and refresh my previous bike, the guy looked at the bike and told me "wait a second", then came back with it. I genuinely had to try hard to keep my shit toghether because it was a PERFECT match for what i wanted; Red and black, rounded curvy frame geometry packed with the craziest rear triangle and pivot combo i had seen at the moment. Then he said the best number he could; 600 bucks, the rest of the budget i had to refresh my previous bike. I still love this thing, and i'm willing to do everything i can to keep it running, but that may change one day. I still smile when i see it, i still love riding it, but i know DAMN WELL that i'll NEVER go back to feeling like the thing was more dream of my own than it is day to day reality, that i needed to remind myself that such a thing was actually mine when i looked at it. And honestly? I hope it does wear off eventually, because one day something will break, and it will NOT have a fix, as aluminium gets stressed until failure unlike steel does for example, and this bike is already 16 years old.
      Anyways, i think i've derrailed myself on my own story enough, the point is the magic more often than not, fades away, and when it doesn't it often prooves to be a curse, because things will end before you stop caring about them.
