Second, you're right that those things do not add value to the car...but only to the extent that they don't add value to the car in and of itself (that is, as far as KBB/Edmunds/etc. are concerned). What they do is add value to an individual who would want to do the same modifications. I clearly expressed that in my FS thread.
Does anybody read anymore? 
Anyhow, back on topic...
That is a good deal on a 4.8, OP. But I'd still be worried about the usual 4.8is problems (EXPENSIVE PROBLEMS) ... even moreso since the truck is out of warranty. |
Sorry bud, I said I didn't mean to bash and I didn't mean to indirectly insult you. you didnt order custom body kits or spoilers. you ordered 4.8is...
I did read your entire Ad and what you are saying makes sense. As does it make sense with everyone else who mod's their car and says the same thing. the bottom line is they don't sell for any higher then book value.
These things are all My opinion and nothing more. Even if that 4.8is needed a transmission, 4 new air bag, all rubber bushings, and the Chain guides replaced it would still be cheaper and have half the miles of yours. GLWS!
