I hate to say it but its true. You lose money on a car no matter what. It's not like a house that gains $ and if you put money into a car you are not going to get your money back because people do not want to pay for the extras that you put into the car. They only want to pay for THE CAR itself. I've seen hooked up cars sit in autotrader for months and the price gets cheaper and cheaper until the owner realizes he/she's screwed. It's the hard knock life.. So best switch the stock parts back on it and sell the rest on e-bay.
