clark354uk Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Hi, I am thinking of selling my Zed, I would like a bit of advice on whether to remove most of the mods, or sell with them on. I have been offered around 6k for it as a part ex. It is a 54 azure with 66,000 on the clock, it is in okay condition, but not as good as some on here. I have spent a few quid on mods over the last few years, including Stillen exhaust, Berks HFCs (Tarmac), Kei racing alloys, 20mm Eibach spacers (CS), Greddy lightweight flywheel and clutch (Zedman Alex), plenum spacer, 2006 airbox, BC racing coilovers (Abbey). I have just recently spent £800 on a Sony head unit (that will be coming out). The reason for sale is that I am now looking for either a GTR or an R8 I am wondering what sort of price I could ask if I sold it with the mods on, or shall I swap them all over and let you guys have a bun fight for them on here?

introspect Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 You'll be much better off stripping the mods off and selling them on here. You wont get any extra money for the mods if you leave them on the car and trade it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 6k is a good PX you'll get more cash if you part out first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshine Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Hold the phone.. You have the cash for a R8/GTR and you're asking us if we think you will be better off flogging your mods for a few quid and putting it back to stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clark354uk Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Second hand R8 or GTR, I am not flush with cash, but would rather the Zed went to a good home, with or without mods. Hold the phone..

spursmaddave Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Far more sensible to strip and sell, apart from the clutch as that would probably be more agro and cost to remove and replace The p/x will be for a standard car so why give them extra's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 ...I dont generally look on the Zeds for Sale section - and too lazy to go trawling through it now - but how many cars for sale generally are sold stock vs lots of upgrades? Do people generally buy them stripped back to stock or are they selling up with upgrades on when selling privately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clark354uk Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 I will have to leave the coilovers on it too, I don't have the original springs and can't be bothered to change them anyway.

KyleR Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 If you have the original exhaust, berks, alloys and air box to replace the uprated ones with, sell them off separately. £6k is an awesome p/x for an '04, some are selling close to that privately!

14N Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I'd be interested in the spacers (and wheels) at the right price if you remove the goodies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350Chris Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Can I chat with you about the car...I am in the market and may be able to help make that trade in offer more interesting without the grief of removing ALL of the modifications Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clark354uk Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 Hi guys, It seems like the car has been sold (with the mods), I am just glad that it will be going to a good home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

350Chris Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Chris.... Following your last post in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=62945 Is there something you wanna tell us? Yes...I have a confession to make. After much searching and a number of reasons for not doing it since 2009...I pleasured myself greatly at the weekend with the help of Clark. Few things to sort out this week - but I am nearly at full term. My bundle of joy should be along next weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I pleasured myself greatly at the weekend with the help of Clark.
