Thats what I said. Its worth what the buyer feels its worth. If it is in their price range, has mods they don't hate and they can't afford to do the mods they really want then it might be worth it to them.

A lot of people want to do it their way. I have a friend that was selling a CRX back in the day and he had some buyers walk because of some of his mods.

As far as internal mods go you could be hurting the value. Rims you can sell and replace. Finding out someone screwed up installing an internal part can end up being an expensive fix.

Receipts only matter to some.

If you like keeping receipts for yourself then do so. But don't be surprised that not everyone does so. And don't let the stack of papers in the fancy binder with plastic sleeves blind you. Look the car over before every getting glossy eyed over some fancy binder.

Even the most well kept car can break the day after you buy it.
