All my cars have been modded and sold THEM ALL for above book price..

not really, it then all boils down to how you modify. take my car for example, it was modified and it is now for sale in bits, i only bought factory extra's *irmscher* for the car and have had no bother selling them on and making a profit, these item's are cheap fibreglass either the good qaulitity plastic bumpers etc.. and are just as good as the standerd stuff. the car will be returned back to standerd before sold and will depricaite the same as any other standerd car.
In total i maybe only loose £100 on the bits overall but by the look of your sig you'll spend that in foglights
sorry to piss in your kettle

your comparing selling a complete modded car to breaking the car and selling, two completely different things

new one, revised slightly...
quote: the car has been relisted due to timewasters. the reserve price is £5000, and is on ebay to sell, not to pass the time for people wanting to offer me silly amounts like £3000 for this awesome show car. the reserve price is only a few hundred pounds over the price of a bog standard dreary corsa c sri, so grab yourself a bargain, this car is on here to sell as my new car is coming soon!!

nice of you to think of me koling
