996tt BAT car
Anyone else watching the closing minutes on this one?

Most of the auctions lately have been completely soft. A buyers market for sure. Not this one.
This turbo at 50k plus fees says a lot about the market on these beasts. I can see why. It pains me a bit whenever I get inquires about mine.

$50k is pretty health price.

The market has spoken, $50K buys a moderate mileage lightly modded car. That is a fair price as unmodded the car can still be worth mid high 40s.
In my opinion, the market doesn't appear much different than it was 2 years ago when I bought a bone stock 43K mile car for mid $40s. Modded cars were priced high 40s to mid 50s.
Someone else's mods can be so tough to accept though, I found that whatever modded car I looked at, they chose stuff that was not 100% to my liking, whether it's big brakes that req'd 19s, or non adjustable seats, a too loud exhaust, or a bigger wing, or extra bling.
So that's my case for buying stock and doing my own mods, which undoubtedly costs more but there's zero compromise.

Stock car will trade higher than modded car 99 times out of 100. That BAT car would have sold for more money if it were stock.

Which begs the question, why don't people put their cars back to stock before selling if aftermarket parts on the car add zero to negative value? I have my stock wheels, exhaust, shifter, and sway bars tucked away in the garage if the day ever comes when I want or need to part with my car.
Mods off the car are worth what, 40 to 50 cents on the dollar, sometimes a little more?
On the other hand, if one is planning on mods, doesn't it make sense to pay a little extra for a modded car to get all those parts that cost a purchase?
When I was shopping 2 years ago, I did look at some modded cars that were priced a few thousand higher than stock, and in most cases they were much firmer on the price than the guys with stock cars. But again, mods are extremely personal and one man's throaty exhaust is another guy's droning nightmare.
