I just dont understand why people are asking for ridiculous amounts of money for cars with minor mods. I mean i understand if you got a show car and your asking for 15,000 of the 25,000 you put into it back. but if you have a basically stock celica with intake, and some crappy paint on the interior. maybe exhaust and a wing. that should lessen the value of the car shouldnt it? so why ask for all the money back from it. its just me whining because i have a totalled car, and its gonna cost me alot to get my baby back together, or just buy a done one.

anyone agree or disagree? open topic, speak amongst ya selves

you cant compare a modified supra to a modified celica. Its apples and oranges, there isnt an extremely high demand for celicasin the first place; or is there?

Mods lower the value of your car, sometimes you can make a bit more of your money back if another enthusiast wants what you have, but no matter what you still lose cash, its like dr. tweak said, if you wanna keep up the value of your car keep it stock. No amount of arguing will change this.
