Should I remove mods before putting car up for sale?
Should I remove mods before putting car up for sale?
I am about to sell my '11 R56 S. I have a few mods that I'm wondering if I'm better of pulling off and selling separately or what.
Most of the things are easy, carbon fiber gear shift ****, coco mats, that type of thing. My main question is about the NM Engineering Exhaust. I kept the stock exhaust and have it in my garage so I guess I can take it back up to the guy that did the work and swap back out. Of course that will cost money...
I am ordering a '15 F56 and none of this stuff will fit the new car so I have no need to keep it.

Sounds like some minor interior mods and exhaust? I'd sell it as is and give the new owner the original exhaust. When you advertise, I wouldn't point out the mods unless a prospective customer asks..
It would be nice if you took the mods off of the car and put them up on the Marketplace for someone else to have a chance to enjoy them at a cost savings to them. You will get a little extra cash back for new mods for the new car. And no, I do not have an R56 that I need parts for 
I buy and sell stuff in the Marketplace and really enjoy it.
I would imagine you will still make at least a couple hundred after the exhaust swap is done.

I would list the mods you have, and leave them on, and note that you have the OEM originals if they want them. When I bought my car, one of the big selling points was the mods (17% pulley, alta CAI, Alta intercooler diverter, MSD ignition and an Ipod direct in) but it was nice that it came with all the factory take offs just in case. I think you can even charge a bit more because it's been modded. Probably not the full value/cost of the mods, but a well modded car is worth more IMO.
