That is the truth. I am getting $4k for my GTI tomorrow. That includes the spare engine and basically anything else I can scare up for him.
I have over $8k invested and list of mods is long and glorified.

It's only worth what someone is going to pay for it. Quite frankly, if I were to go out and buy a '91 Gli tomorrow, I would want it as unmodded as possible. It's tough to get back, financially, what you've put into a car in terms of parts, labor, and sweat. I do all modifications to my cars, thinking long term ownership, despite if it sells next week. You'll regret it when you sell your Gli anyhow, just ask us. But by all means, get that TT exhuast and the springs in that Gli :) Thanks and good luck.

I'm just curios if you guys think it would increase the value of the car if I added some mods before selling it. The car is black with a straight body, 117K on it. I bought it in 2000 for $5k So far I have installed Garett Chip Bilstein HD's Neuspeed plug wires Bonrath Spring Caps JVC CD Kameleon K&N Air Filter New Intake Boot New Differential Pressure Regulator New Timing Belt New Fuel Injector O-Rings Things I want to put in before I sell it: TT Cat Back Exhaust $200 H&R Springs $200 I'm thinking of selling it for $5500, but if I install the exhaust and the springs will it be worth more or less? I know this seems like high prices, but VW's are expensive in the NW. Matt Nelson [email protected] Bellevue, WA
