Q's about after mkt. parts when selling car.

Ok so I think I'm going to flip my 2k SE for a new one.
What would you guys do about after market parts you have on the car.
I have a Berk intake, Greddy Evo 2 CatBack, on her and brand new
Tokico Iluminas,H-techs and botts in my garage .
( I was waiting for the spring ) 4 the install.
My OE struts are done and I should change them to sell the car i think.
But I'm not sure about the springs.
Also should I take the intake & catback off.

Thanks, Mike

Aftermarket modifications tend not to sell very well with used cars. They don't add any value to the car. What i would suggest is you make it stock as possible, so you don't lose any value and on top of that, you can resell your aftermarket parts for a little more money.

Dealers like the car to be stock. Most customers don't want a car that has been modified. This maxima has been sitting at this dealer for over 6 months and when you look at it, you can understand why. Nobody with common sense will touch it. RETURN TO STOCK AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE BEFORE TRADE IN

I was looking to trade in my 00 SE to the dealer and they told me the car would be worth more stock then with all the mods on it.

Try and sell it here on the ORG modded or return it to stock and sell to someone else. Others might assume you've driven the car hard with the mods, is the reason I'd remove them.
