Default which way is better?

hey guys,

i have a problem, i want to sell my 03 touring asap. the problem is that i have invested awhole lot of money in sounds navi speakers customed wheels etc. Now my question is should i sell it the way it is now for a higher price or turn it back to stock for a lower price???? which why should sell quicker and better? the car only has 16k miles on it..

btw for an 03 touring stock with 16k miles what kind of price can i sell for?


thanks

A modified vehicle will not necessarily sell for more than stock. In fact mods may hurt resale value. If I buy a stock 350Z I know what problems I may be looking forward to. If I buy one that has been modified, I haven't the faintest idea about the quality of mods or installation. I would discount my offer to offset the addition risk.

Advertise the car as is. If you do not get any reasonable offers, return it to stock.

+1...David know's what he's talking about! I would trade your stuff with people here + cash to get your car back to stock...you'll probably end up making more doing that than taking it to a stealership!

thanks for all the advise..the thing is most of my mods are just in the sound system itself. like customed boxed speakers etc. but actual mods such as performance is only a jwt intake and sway bars and rims and exhuast. if i was to take the system apart it would be no use to me and i dont want to take the time selliing them in peices.
but i guess thats what i might have to do since it would sell quicker and faster.
heres my autotrader link

any reasonable offers will do!

Kelly Blue Book gives these values for Private Party selling:

Condition / Value:

Excellent / $25,910
(Selected)

Good / $24,490

Fair / $22,660

I included the 19" wheels and the Navi/DVD system as well. Based it on 16,000 miles on the odometer. The caveat is that I used my zip code since I did not know yours.
