Now.. here are the problems I am aware of:
-Rear bumper has 3cm crack.. not a huge deal, and can be fixed, just havent had the extra cash/time
-Engine compression is about 60-75%. This spring I was going to do a rebuild with upgraded rods, as the stock AEB pistons are forged already.
When it does sell, I would either rebuild the engine before the new owner would take posession, or give a 2k reduction in price. This would include SCAT rods.

Mods usually don't increase the price of a car unless it's exactly what the buyer was planning to do
In fact it sometimes hurts resale because the buyer assumes the car has been raced/abused/poorly converted.
To maximize your returns, take off the mods and sell seperately.

Not an option....
No longer have stock turbo/manifold/exhaust and honestly not really worth my time unless all at once. I will not jeopardize the cars ability to run safely or properly to make a few bucks. (Brakes/FMIC/Exhaust etc)
From what I have seen, it depends on the car and the extent of the mods... Close to 15k in mods isnt exactly some punk kids doings...Not saying that it will be easy to sell, just looking for an estimated price.
