depedns on who you want. If youre trying to get kids to look at itt hen dropped but the tuner market is a pretty small one so Id say the stock look would go faster.

Last year I sold my stock Prelude VTEC. I would get a thousand calls a day about it and all the people would ask are what kind of exhaust is on it? What have you done to it? Is it modded? and so on. The trend is raging on these custom cars so it should probably go fast.
The only problem is that you lose lots of money on the mods its not an investment in terms of getting $$$ when you sell.

Put it all back to stock then sell all the aftermarket shit separately.....you can end up making more money that way.

I would say (depending on the car) that it would be better off selling the car MODIFIED... I mean all the extra work to take off the parts would just not make it worth it!

Thats what I was planning on doing because if the car doesnt sell in auto trader then you can try and get like carmax or some dealer ot buy it. and most dealers will give a mess more for a car that isnt terribly modded.

it all depends.

for me not having some stock stuff did it and it did finally sell (and not to a kid either).

mike- if you sell youd be best maybe getting a carpet and rear seats and maybe thats it. or find a stock airbox and you would be set. kids like swapped cars so they dont have to do the work themselves. i was on the verge of buying a GSR hatch with 3 interiors and 3 sets of wheels including some drag slicks and a nos kit for an extra $300 but my parents werent for that.

civic r-tist: with TR/3rdshift/ClubSi/hondatech for sale forums im sure you can find alot of people wanting to buy your parts and you can work out some trades with stock parts and etc.

it just so happened with the camry that there is like maybe 2 other people in the state with modified camrys and who are online that i know and they had nothing for me. they all had 4th gens.

Im telling you just sell it all modded while its still hot. Like I said about my Prelude VTEC I think I turned off a lot of buyers because it was stock. The kid who bought ended up doing the I/H/E wing body kit lower CF hood etc. Thats all almost anyone wants a car for these days...
