Default trading in the PT

Thinking about trading in the PT. I am going to Germany soon, they have lots of nice cars over there. Lotus Elise, BMW, at least now I can afford something like that. Do you all think that spending all kinds of money on the cruiser for aftermarket upgrades is partical?

If your even thinking of trading in your PT, the best thing to do is leave it stock, or at least don't add anything that you can't take off and get it back to stock condition. Dealers like a vehicle that will appeal to a lot of customers and the more you do the narrower the market becomes for that dealer to find a new owner.

Crewzin is right, there is a black PT with blue ghost flames that has been sitting on the dealers lot for about 2 1/2 months. No wone else wants to spend that amount of $$$'s for someone elses "MODS" when its NOT something they want. [:I]

I agree,On things like flames,But a little chrome is OK
Although you will never get what you have got in it back.

Best bet is mods you can remove and sell separately, but even then you lose money. A car is not a good investment - it depreciates.

Agree with Don. Your out money the minute you drive it off
