What, no heated seats?!?

Anyway, same thing everyone says, if it's modded that much, it's probably a little beat up on, and mods don't add to the value of the car. $7,500 seems a little steep, but I'm not going to lie, it is a nice looking ride.

Good luck...

mods dont add much to the value of a car. theres atleast $5k in mods on the car. $7500 is only about 1000 more then its worth stock. if it were my car i certainly wouldnt take any less for it, and i wouldnt insult the guy with a lowball offer of like $6k.

i wonder why he built a fresh motor and put a 2871 on it without doing rods? if you have everything apart, you might as well throw them on there.

Mods don't add value to those who don't appreciate it but they do add value to those who are in the know.

regardless if ur in the know or not... mods do nothing to value of the car... except to the owner... so if he finds someone dumb enough to spend the money then good for him

agreed. I doubt most people that know about cars would pay the same exact price for that car whether it's like that or completely stock

Well maybe to you. I would personally pay more for the hard work that someone has done because I appreciate it.

IMO it adds money because those aftermarket parts do cost more. Some people are lucky enough to sell the car as a whole (with the aftermarket parts included in the price) and some aren't lucky in which they would have to part out the car.

Whichever way you go, those aftermarket parts would add on to the value (whether it be parting out or selling a whole). Of course these parts also have to be quality parts. I doubt people would want to spend more money paying for some eBay parts.
