Firstly, could just be set back to standard before selling...

You'll find most of the people who have spent a lot of money camming and remapping their car, have not done anything on the cheap and since they've invested a lot of money into the car, will look after it and drive it properly - i.e. not ragging it when cold, servicing regularily etc. Where as some chav who's just bought a standard 106 gti for cheap, won't really care what happens to it and probably take it to the limiter daily straight after turning the key

Just can't see how you can make that judgement, yeh fair enough if the mods have been done poorly / they're cheap budget mods etc. Bit like the way people prefere women drivers, yet most women drivers i know don't ever check their oil or coolant, and drive it round not caring whats happening under the bonnet

I see so many people look for and buy a standard 106 gti. They get it, then after a few months do the usual, exhaust + filter, suspension... then cams and remap etc. They could've had a car sorted for not much more than they paid for it standard.

Well, I mean if someone has spent a fortune on tuning the engine, they're not going to drive it slow are they, they'll drive it hard as every car tuner does. And just becasue he's cammed it, doesn't mean hes not meant to know not to drive it hard from cold.

And if I buy one thats already been cammed for example, it might have the wrong degree cams in it for what I want it for, so i'll to buy a set anyway. But I see where you're coming from.
