I've been looking around a lot lately since I'll definitely be buying a car by the end of this winter. Please explain to me why people insist on over-pricing their cars because of a few mods? I understand wanting to make some of your money back; but I'm not buying a car from you to pay for your mods. Part of the fun IS modding cars yourself; not picking up where someone else left off. I was looking through the DTM classifieds and I couldn't find many examples of people with realistic prices. I assume they want to get back the money they lost on modding. To me, buying a modded car, aside from light body/audio-video work, is preposterous. It just shows that someone else probably drove the f*ck out of it... and that means problems later that I'll have to fix. Honestly, most people know not to buy a modded car; so why sell one modded... or am I alone with this reasoning?

A friend of mine is selling his car. It has more than a few mods. But he's selling the parts for reasonable prices and giving discounts to those who can provide him with stock parts. Then when he sells/trades the car he gets top dollar at the dealership.

Why do people insist on trying to get interested parties to pay for the mods as well? Why don't people bring their cars back to stock and sell/trade the modded parts seperately?
