Car resale value after audio installs?... Hmmm


Recommended Posts

Posted

Okay so im pretty sure this would be a question all of is would want to know... What is the resale value look like of a car that has been tampered with (audio wise) or a stock car? Liek if you were comparing the 2... Say the resale value of the stock car was $10000... Would the audio part interfere with that value?

Or what about engine modifications... Same scenerio... Ive always wondered this.

If it depends on the install.. Lets just say... "Shop" quality. Like good enough but not way over the top. Its just looks good and not "ghetto"

As long as you swap out all your aftermarket parts with the original OEM, who has to know it was corrupted by car audio...

Well I'd have to guess that it depends on the buyer. If you're selling the car yourself, it depends on if your buyer is into that kind of stuff. If they do, it'll probably bring the value up a bit. However, if the buyer isn't into car audio and they would rather have the trunk space, then it's probably gonna get you a lower offer. If you offer it as a trade in at a dealer, that's where I have no idea at all.

But let's be honest, not many of us would sell the car with the audio equipment in it unless the price was right ;) (or unless it's too immaculate to take out)

See thats what im asking... Selling it to the dealer or whatever.. Say if i had a simple setup in my car.. Changed only a few visible things but all in all it looks the same as stock. New door speakers and hidden amp somewhere... Big 3 upgrade under the hood with a nice XS power battery.... Hmmmmm.... What would happen then? TO A DEALER*

Or on the other end.... Exterior stuff and engine upgrades... Like exhaust, downpipe, air intake, maybe ECU... Ya know that type of stuff.

Different suspension.(springs and stuff)

I mean does puttin more money into it decrease the resale value to the dealer?

You never get what you put into a car back out of it on a sale...

Thats cool. Im way too old to be upset by shit like that. Your name is winston. Your own parents hated you even before you were born.

My penis is bigger than your penis

I'm far from loud and my roof/headliner flaps around like Adam's ass on a windy day. I think it depends more on the structure of the vehicle.

It all depends. If you build a car worthy of numbers and it can trully prove its self some on the forum may be willing to pay for it. Labor is not cheap.

Im not so much asking if the dealer will pay more cuz that never happens... Im kinda asking by how much would the price differ vs. a stock version of the car?

Well if its a shitty job then yeah it's gonna hurt. If its a good install its not gonna raise it. Just gonna stay the same...

Also you can be a man and have them pay more. All in negotiations
