    1999 c230 kompressor sport

    yup like most of us who have owned one of these its time to do other interests. so I m selling my car if any one might be interested. I have a craigslist post and I m asking 6500 . I know most of you will say you are asking too much or you can buy a c43 for that but I think I priced mine right and understand you cant get what you put in it .

    No it doesnt! It actually decreases the value because those are modifications that you wanted, your personal taste does not add value. sorry to burst your bubble, I dont know who misinformed you but its sort of a known fact that if you mod, Your decreasing the cars market value, Not increasing it. You didnt build a show car or anything that would spike a collector/ enthusiasts interest. which in turn would warrant them shelling out double what the car is actually worth on the open market. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. GLWS

    it's better that you part out the mods you put in and sell it separately. That will get you your investment on mods.

    From personal experiences, A part out of all after market mods will help recoup most of the loss you're going to have to absorb. Selling the car stock will open up your field of prospective buyers! If you decide to part it out, Ill buy your rieger roof spoiler

    I agree and disagree with older cars people are more in likey spend money to put things in as radio replacement and other things. in some cases when they are done right they are more likey to spend the little extra since it was done right . I have sold many cars over blue book and got what I wanted . there are people out there that do spend money for something that's done right. the thing I have on my side is patience, as I really don't need to sell it so if I don't get close to what I m asking Ill keep it
    p.s. this car isn't over modded, wheels , intake , exhaust and audio. I don't have a crazy paint job , interior is stock and I have all the factory things I pulled off that is going with the car.
