1. The old paradigm where modified cars have a lower resale value generally holds true but if the mods were cleanly done, professionally installed by known tuners then it can still hold its value or even claim a higher price. there were a few of these evo's sold with a very steep price. e.g. BR 350, AMS evo's, etc.
2. Please don't put back to stock obviously known modified evo's because it will not only lose its value but leave a bad taste to the prospective buyer unless you are trading it in to an unsuspecting dealer.
3. Non-professional installs of mods are okay too if good quality parts were used(not home depot pieces), there is hope
4. Keep receipts, oem parts if using aftermarket parts and include it in the sale=better price!
5. First owner modified evos hold its value
6. There is no warranty for modified evos unless you buy it from the dealer and they give you an aftermarket warranty.
7. Don't try to fool evom members by passing of a modified evo as stock because you will be eventually be caught and will not want to post the FS thread anymore.
8. Be upfront with your modified evos, we understand and will give you the benefit of the doubt and a best offer.
9. Maintenance records and premium oils is preferred if you want a good price.
10. Lastly, keep your evo is unless you really want to part with it, it is a classic.

Well said. I had about 8 evos now, I buy fix and Sell them, all stock evos I had sell fast, and now I have 1 modded and hard to sell it!
