Yeah I know, I had a lot of free time on my hands that day lol. I did not mention how many miles on it with everything that I wrote!? It has 100,000 clean cruising miles

Hey GLWS. It is a nice looking X but I do concur with what the members on here have said. While to you the X looks balls to the wall awesome, some will frown. Especially that Supercharged Audi Badge. People get flamed for throwing M badges all over their cars, forget about throwing a competitors out there. But again, your car, your style, no body else's opinion should matter... until you sell the car. You can do a search on here with people who have done extensive modification trying to sell their cars... 100% of the time they end up putting the car back to stock and selling the extra equipment separately. Even people with Tasteful mods have a hard time selling it.

I've found people who buy extensively modded cars are usually of younger age (17-25) and normally are Civics, Supras, Integras, and Z32's. People rarely buy super modded BMW, Audi, Mercs because well... Most of the time it is out of their price range. The rare times I do see a modded BMW, Audi or Merc, its either extreme or tasteful. For example... a 330i with a Roller Skate Wing on the deck lid, black rims and trash can exhaust, oh and a sticker on the rear glass that says "Illest" on it. Then you have the guy that has a 330i, tinted, sleeper, and looks stock. 9 times out of 10, the guy with flash gets more looks, but 1 out of 10 will actually be interested in buying the car.

So; again... this is my opinion and you can tell me to shove it if you want. But bottom line we are all trying to help you sell this thing here. I would start out with taking that audi badge off. Then seeing how much it would cost to get the hood sprayed back to Titanium Silver and take the wing off the back. Also, I wouldn't say the X has "Factory upgrades" Did the parts come from BMW, yeah, but when your whip was built... It didn't roll off the line that way. Just my opinion.

Like you said you have no rush to sell your car. There has got to be at least one person on this planet looking for what you have. So you can leave everything the way it is and advert. the crap out of it or after a while if you get no hits... keep it.

BTW... Curious where you got the stock price of $18,600 from? Market Value for a 06 3.0 with sport with 100k on the clock is $15k at best. Just want to see where the justification came from that stock is worth $18.6 and you are looking to get $20K.

Hi GTR. I respect everybody's opinion. Again this was my baby toy project and this is how I liked to car to look for me. I really did everything for myself not to please people to their likes. It's not the first time I modify a car and spend crazy money on it. Again I wanted my X to look like that and I'm happy with it. Whoever decides to buy it they can do or change whatever they want because I'm keeping it that way. So if I supercharge it now that makes it ok to keep the badge? I don't see why people are picking on this little tiny badge! Where it can be removed in less than a minute! And to answer your question about how I came up with $18600... I'm in the car business and I know how to book in cars which most people they think they know but actually DON'T. I can tell you how to book it in right then you will see that I'm right! I had a store car manager arguing with me with the same thing that it dose not book in retail for that price... I actually sat on his desk and used his computer and I showed him that it does!! Try it yourself and make sure that you add all the features that the car has such as premium/sport package running boards oversized rims and so on... Not including my Aero kit and other mods you will come up with exactly $18600.
I just booked it in now just to show that I'm not making this up so in case anybody has any doubts about what I said! It actually books in for $18,800

This is just to show anybody that has any doubts about how much my car books in. I've been getting some people messaging me telling me it does not book in for that much. I'm in the car business and I know how to book in cars the right way. If you book it in right by adding all the factory features and packages you will come up with the same number. Thanks

Sam, that's the retail value buying from a dealer, not from a private seller. You're in car business, unless you can put it under the business as a used car dealer to sell your X, the private party value is more accurate.
Regarding the "Supercharger" badge, it equals to "false" advertisement, since your X isn't supercharged. It might make a potential buyer thinking "what else could he lie about the SAV?" or "He might had it supercharged before and race the sh*t out of it"
Anyhow, it's your X, keep/put whatever you want on it.
Regardless, GLWS.

Tmv. I understand what you are saying and that's what I said RETAIL. I actually know a lot of dealers and I could sell my car as a consignment car there and get $18,800 which I'm sure I can get 20K for it if I wanted to but I refuse have my car sit there for weeks under the sun and... Have people test driving it whenever they want to! I'm not trying to go by the book or anything. I was just trying to make a point about my car's value. As for my X been supercharged and raced the hell out of it... That wouldn't make any sense for anybody that I supercharged it then I took the supercharger out, knowing that you have to modify a lot of things and replace parts to super charge a car. If I actually supercharged before I would l love to keep it that way and people would go crazy for that!! Besides... How could I super charge it and my CPO warranty expired not long ago? Also, any mods been done to the engine... At the right dealer they can find out easy if anything been done to the engine. Whoever would like to buy my X, they can take it to any dealer and have it fully inspected and if there is anything wrong with my car or anything been done to it that is not stock... I will pay for the full inspection!!

Ok well regardless, GLWS... I mean you obviously know what you are doing... You say you're in the car biz... cool... The number you got... Cool... You want to leave it the way it is... that is cool too. But from an enthusiast standpoint... Good luck with the sale. I hope a person looking for that particular car comes forward soon.

Ok thanks. Again I respect your opinion GTR and I'm sure the right buyer will come along. It may not be everybody's car but someone out there will like and appreciate what I did to my car and buy it. I might consider reasonable offers if someone is seriouse about it
