after reading a fewe threads, i have been thinling about my car.
I AM selling it after/at Max Power at end of month. I am just about to start tidying up everything to get it mint.
I just had a think though. i plan getting new seats but wondered if i would have more chance selling it if i was to put front and back seats and seat belts back in?
Currently have buckets with harnesses and boarded out rear

When I sold my car I said in the advert that it had Corbeau recliners but standard seats could be replaced.
I had the most interest from ebay btw

yeah I had alot of that myself, stupid offers like "would you accept £500" 
But the boy who bought mine saw it advertised through ebay and bought it when he came down to see it. Saved me paying ebay a final selling fee.

Dont spend any more money on it cos imo thas just daft - it wont make it any more valuable!! Sell it at a loss if you have to its a modded car there not worth jack squat unless someones willing to pay over the odds!!!!

If someone is seriously interested in your car then the seats wont be a problem, if they want standard seats they can get a corsa with a normal interior. Modded cars are an individual thing and if you are selling yours leave it as such, get it on sites such as ebay and the like just to generate interest and someone will take it the way it is for hopefully the price you want.

selling modded cars is no fun, such a tiny market, and you sell at a huge loss.
Have to say none of us mod our cars to make money so you know your gonna make a huge loss but like with mine i have enjoyed doing the work and owning the car, and as said once time to move on you lower the price until someone bites and off it goes.
