I am very close at the moment to getting a ix mr. It is stock and has taken me about half a year to find. I was curious though, I wanna keep it stock but if I were to get a tune to gain a couple more hp, would it still be considered stock if I wanted to sell it in the future? Correct me if Im wrong but even if I restore the factory tune, someone will still be able to see if its been messed with.

 

You haven't even bought the car yet and your already worried about selling it?
How about you enjoy it a little first. I'm sure your perspective will change.
Good luck.

 

I mean, I would still consider it stock. I feel like for it to be considered "modified" it would require physically adding or taking away stock components.

 

I know I know lol. Thats just the way my mind works. Thinking about everything before I actually do it.

 

when i bought mine, i determined that i would never sell it or trade it in. you really should think about it so you dont waste money.

 

jesus christ lol....as people have said, your already considering selling it. just dont buy it. These cars are becoming harder and harder to come by, let an enthusiast grab it.

 

Jeeezzz like I said I was just thinking about the possibility. I looked hard as heck for this car of course I like it. Apparently I cant be bored on a Sunday and ask a question that crossed my mind. I already know that Im more likely to keep it till Im an old man, but Im 23, for all I know I may have to sell some day.

 

doesnt matter what you do it. as long as the car is CLEAN and mechanically sound, it will sell, its an evo! theyre hard to come by and the value has gone up. you will be fine.

 

It's a good idea to think two or three steps ahead. That's why most of us keep our stock parts, just in case we ever have to sell.

I had my tuner flash my original rom onto a jump drive and I keep it in my files should I ever have to return the rom to stock settings.

Buy the car and enjoy it. Go ahead and try, as you might, not to mod it. I tried, but I failed.

 

Stock is overrated! I'm sure its been modded and returned to stock. You can do the same if you decide to sell later.

 

even though, there is rarely any true stock evos left. 8 and 9's i mean.

 

It's not stock anymore.

 

No one will be able to know if the ecu was flashed?
Unless someone pulls up the values and compares them to stock?

 

This is good advice ^

 

Some will,and some won't see it as stock. If you ever need to sell it, just tell potential buyers it was tuned and returned to stock. Saves the headache of having some buyer coming back to you saying you mis-represented the car.
