2-3g is about what I usually guessed when I sold. I was usually right.

Depends on how soft the market is.

You gonna tell us what its being traded for...or you gonna make us wait.

If I were you, I would take off all of the aftermarket parts, put the stock parts back on, and then sell the aftermarket parts somewhere else. You would get more money from the dealer if you were to trade it in completely stock.

problem is i dont have stock parts...

i have the ones for the accord coupe i believe, i ordered them from c-c-c.net. great springs, but i doubt i'll part out

i would tell you guys what im going to trade it in for, but it pretty much depends on how the financing will go.. so im not even sure if i can get the car i want. will find out tomorrow when i go to the dealer

Mods usually make a car worth LESS on the used car market. Although being a CL it might be okay. All I know is that most buyers (95% of the public) doesn't like mods.

This is true - you can't expect to get your investment back on any mods to you car.

yea, i knew that when i modded the car. being a member on a-cl its kinda hard not to mod tho.

i will most likely mod my next car as well, but i think i'll leave my mods towards the more cosmetic than performance, atleast until my warranty expires

Hey Rez, check with Bridgewater Acura and see how much they'll give you. They regularly acquire and resell cars that are modded.

Private sale the car...you might get someone who is interested and you can explain the benefit of the mods...if you get at least 50% value on the mods...its worth it.

I would part it out. Even if they are willing to flip a modded car, they are not likely to give you a good deal on it.
