Sell your mods, they'll either keep your car at its blue book value or depreciate it's value. If you want to make the most money, put hte car back to stock, sell off the performance parts and sell it for bluebook value.

yeah sell the aftermarket parts and go back to stock, you can probably get more out of it that way. and i say you can sell it around 22K

Even as an evo enthusiast, I'd still have trouble buying that car with the amount of mods/mileage on it. What I would assume is that the seller did a good job beating on the car for 53k with those mods/miles. I'd put it back to stock, even an evo enthusiast will be sketched out.

All mods are done within 8000 miles ago. Dont know if that makes any difference at all.

At least you had them all professionally installed which will keep the value up on the car, and in reality 53k miles isn't so bad considering it's a 4 year old car. You shouldn't have a problem selling it for around 20-22k with the mods.

The only problem is you'll have a hard time selling it for more than that with the mods opposed to where a lot of people would be less scared to purchase the car if it didn't have the mods and retained the same 20-22k price.

I dont think you'll see any more than 20-20,500. Especially with a 43k mile evo with 2.3L stroker 20g turbo and other mods going for 22K obo. Not trying to be a dick but just look at your competition.
