I'm not interested on whether you WOULD sell it, but whether you COULD - financially.

Obviously no-one wants to sell a car they've but thousands into for peanuts, so you'd try and get a good percentage of the cars street value, plus a bit more for various mods depending on what and how they're done.

Mine up for sale now, looks like i might end up getting a new car then worry about selling it, which is nice

Book price for mine with its current mileage is £2600-700 so im asking £3500 which i think is reasonably because ive spent 3k on her

No, but i have no plan to sell my car for a long time.

Dont modify it, spend thousands only to be stupid enough to just sell it.

noone would buy mine, its 11 years old with 145,000 miles on it, how many people want a 5 door diesel as a modified car also, very limited market, so im keeping it.
